## Steps

1. Beat the softened butter with the caster sugar using a whisk.
2. Add the eggs one at a time, along with the salt and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and creamy.
3. In a separate bowl, mix the plain flour, baking powder and potato starch, then gradually fold into the creamed mixture.
4. Wash the cherries and remove the stones, carefully cutting a slit on the side.
5. Put the cherries in a bag, add a little flour and shake until the fruit is coated.
6. Grease a loaf tin with butter and line it with baking parchment.
7. Pour in half the batter, level it, then arrange half the cherries on top, pressing them in lightly.
8. Add the remaining batter and scatter the rest of the cherries on top.
9. Bake in a preheated fan oven at 160°C for 1 hour. (60 min)
10. Check with a wooden skewer; if needed, bake for a further 5–10 minutes.
11. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature before turning out of the tin.
12. Turn the cake out carefully so it doesn't crack.
13. Before serving, dust with icing sugar through a sieve.
