1 tsp Baking powder

Method
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and grease and line a 20cm deep round loose-bottomed cake tin.
- Mix together the flour, ground almonds, cinnamon, stevia/coconut sugar and baking powder in a large bowl.
- Whisk together the milk, egg, CherryActive concentrate and melted coconut oil or butter until frothy, then whisk into the dry ingredients, beating well.
- Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and smooth out evenly. Arrange the cherry halves over the top (cut side down) and press them in slightly.
- Now rub together the topping ingredients to form a crumble texture, then scatter this over the cherries.
- Bake for a total of 35 minutes (cover with tin foil 10 minutes in), until firm. Leave to cool in the tin, then run a knife around the edge and push out onto a serving plate, peeling off the grease-proof paper and removing the cake tin base. Slice up and serve!
- Keep any remaining slices of cake in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
