Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7. Line a 32x22cm baking tray with greaseproof paper.

  2. Lightly flour a clean work surface then roll out the pastry to 1cm thickness on a lightly floured surface. Drape into the lined baking tray.

  3. Spread the jam over the base generously.

  4. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together with an electric whisk well before slowly adding the eggs one by one.

  5. Add the ground almonds, almond extract, lemon zest and the flour. As soon as it’s combined stop beating.

  6. Spread over the jam. Scatter the cherries over and push down lightly, so you still see them.

  7. Bake for 40 minutes or so, then allow to cool.

  8. Mix the icing sugar with a little water, then splash liberally all over the top of the traybake. Scatter over the flaked almonds. Sprinkle with icing sugar and cut into slices to serve.
