Cherry & Lemon Tea Cake

Happy Weekend everyone!

It’s a another snow storm today; just perfect to stay at home safe and cozy, with a hot cup of tea and a slice of cherry and lemon tea cake.

I had a glass of maraschino cherries left and thought I finally use them up in a recipe. It turned out pretty delicious.
