Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180ºC/gas 4.
• Mix all the batter ingredients with a pinch of sea salt in a blender or food processor until totally smooth, then set aside for 20 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, grease a 25cm round baking dish with the softened butter, then sprinkle over the sugar.
• Dot the cherries (stoned, if you prefer) around the base of the dish, then place in the oven for 5 minutes so the fruit can begin to soften.
