A slice of traditional British cherry cake.

Cherry cake is a traditional British cake. The cake consists of glacé cherries evenly suspended within a Madeira sponge.[1] Glacé cherries are used because the moisture within fresh cherries causes them to sink to the bottom of any cake, ruining the cake's form.[2] The cherries are usually halved or quartered, then washed and floured to help prevent sinking.[3]

Cakes with cherries inside them are found in many other cuisines.
