Method:
-
Preheat oven to 180 degrees conventional or 160 degrees fan-forced, and line a 2lb (23cm) loaf tin with baking paper.
-
To make the buttermilk, whisk together the milk and vinegar in a medium-sized mixing bowl and set aside.
-
Sift flour and baking powder into a large mixing bowl, then add caster sugar, ground almonds and salt and stir to combine.
-
Add the remaining wet ingredients into the buttermilk mixture, and whisk until smooth.
-
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold together until smooth, then add the cherries and fold again.
-
Pour mixture into the prepared loaf tin and bake for 1hr - 1hr 10 minutes until a skewer comes out clean.
-
Allow to cool completely before removing from loaf tin, then drizzle with cherry yoghurt pot, flaked almonds and fresh cherries.
