Banana Cherry Cake
"This is a moist, fruity cake. It can be made as a regular cake or in a bundt tin (I used a 10" bundt tin). Cherries can be substituted for blueberries, raspberries - anything you have on hand. The cooking time shown is for a non-fan oven."

I made this cake as a special Valentine's Day treat for my fiance, who just adores cherries. It is very, very good -- easy to make, moist, and not too sweet. I used a 14-oz. bag of (thawed and drained) frozen cherries, and because of my fiance's lactose intolerance used rice milk in place of regular milk. I think the only change I might make next time would be to puree some additional cherries and use them in place of some of the bananas, just to pump up the cherry flavor and color. I ~will~ be making this again! :)
