Method
- Set the oven to 190°C/375°F/Gas Mark 5.
- Put the butter, flour, sugar, eggs and milk in a bowl and beat until smooth. Stir in three-quarters of the pistachios and cherries, then spoon the mixture into the traybake tin and level the surface. Scatter over the remaining cherries, pistachios and the crushed sugar cubes and press slightly into the mixture.
- Bake the traybake in the centre of the oven for 35-45 mins, until the cake is risen, golden in colour and just firm to the touch. Remove the tin from the oven and turn the cake out onto a wire tray. Cut into 15 squares and serve warm or at room temperature.
