Silvana's cherry and almond cake

Food editor Silvana Franco and daughter Cassia bake a fragrant almond cake studded with cherries

"One of the best things about baking is that it gives you time out from work and homeschooling, and gives you something lovely to eat. This cake's a great one for Valentine's Day or Mother's Day."
