A richer take on a familiar flavour
This cake is made for people who love a soft, creamy cake with a fruity twist. Inspired by the familiar flavour of Cadbury Cherry Ripe, the cream cheese keeps it soft and creamy, the coconut adds texture, and the glacé cherries bring sweetness gives each slice a dark chocolate finish. The result is nostalgic without being overly sweet: familiar, generous and properly celebratory.
How it’s finished
The cake is finished with coconut around the sides and a cluster of glacé cherries in the centre, a clear nod to the cherry and coconut inside.

How to serve Cherry Ripe Cake
For the cleanest slices, serve the cake chilled and cut with a hot dry knife, wiping the blade between cuts. Let each slice rest for a few minutes before serving so the ganache softens and the sponge comes back to its best texture. It pairs beautifully with strong coffee, vanilla ice cream, fresh cherries or a simple pot of tea.
