Lemon cake with cherries

It's so hot in Spain right now that I'm finding stepping out of the car hard work, let alone carrying shopping into the house. Still, really it is beautiful weather and I love to be able to take my breakfast outside into the shade and subconsciously try to identify all the animals making noises from neighbouring farms. I made a lemon cake the day before I flew out here, and topped it with the cherries I picked the day before that. There's something irresistible about a cherry, so firm, shiny and sweet.
