Ingredients

• 250g pack butter, softened
• 280g self-raising flour
• 250g golden caster sugar
• ½ tsp baking powder
• 4 eggs
• 150ml pot natural yogurt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 85g red glacé cherries, chopped

• To decorate
• 250g white marshmallows
• 5 tbsp milk
• 8 red glacé cherries, halved

Directions

1. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line a 20 x 30cm baking or roasting tin with baking parchment. Beat together the butter, flour, sugar, baking powder, eggs, yogurt and vanilla. Stir in the chopped cherries and snipped marshmallows. Scrape into the tin and bake for 25-35 mins until a skewer poked in comes out clean. Cool.
