- Mix the ground flax and water in a small bowl or cup and set aside for 15 minutes until gelatinous (you can use 2 eggs in place of this and ignore this step).
- Meanwhile preheat the oven to gas 4 / 180C / 350°F and grease & line a 20cm cake tin.

- For the cake, cream the butter and sugar together in a large bowl.
- Add the flax mixture and the milk (or 2 eggs), half of the ground almonds and stir in, then add the rest of the ground almonds and the extract and mix together.
- Add the baking powder and xanthan gum if using to the flour, then fold into the rest of the cake batter.
- Pour the cake batter into the tin and even it out with the back of a spoon.
- Spread the cherries over the top of the cake batter.
