2. Combine the butter, sugar, lemon zest, orange zest and vanilla paste in the bowl of an electric mixer. Mix using the paddle attachment until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs, one at a time, making sure the previous egg is fully incorporated before adding the next one.

Cook’s note: Replace the cherries with any other berry.
One of the best things I have ever made! I made a selection of small ones using different fruit rather than one big, as loved how they looked in the pic – had to reduce cooking time a bit. Will definitely make again!
