    1 Preheat oven to 180°C. Lightly grease a 16cm x 26cm slice pan and line with baking paper.

    2 Place spread, sugar and vanilla in a small bowl and beat with an electric mixer for 5–6 minutes or until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition to combine. Stir in half the flour, half the baking powder, then half the milk. Repeat with remaining flour, baking powder and milk until well combined.

    3 Spread mixture into prepared pan and scatter over cherries. Bake for 30–40 minutes or until a skewer inserted in centre comes out clean.

    4 Using a serrated knife, cut cake into 8 triangles. Serve dusted with icing sugar.
