It's the week after a Bank Holiday weekend, so I think we all need a little pick me up to get you through it.
And I have just the thing. This is a delightful little loaf. Perfect for an afternoon tea tray. It’s dense and nutty and not too sweet. I adapted this from a Nigella recipe, and I added a little extra sweetness (as is my wont) by drizzling some icing sugar on top to recreate the Bakewell Tart flavours I wanted.

I adore the individual components in a bakewell tart- the flaky
pastry, nutty almonds, zingy cherries and sweet white icing, but they really
sing when they’re all together.
But making a tart is kind of time consuming. And making a
loaf cake is not. And sometimes you want (NEED!) something quick and sweet, but also homemade and lovely.
