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 maraschino cherries bring sweetness, with a chocolate ganache finish. The result is nostalgic without being overly sweet: familiar, generous and properly celebratory.
How it’s finished
The cake is finished with chocolate ganache and chocolate decoration, topped with maraschino cherries, a clear nod to the cherry and coconut inside.
Handmade in Port Melbourne

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.
