Cherry cake with dried fruits

Basically this is Mrs. Lipton's most excellent cherry cake or at least a version of it, since I put more cherries and some dried fruits in it this time. It tastes very different so I decided to publish it again as a different recipe. It's quite tempting, it was still warm when I tasted it and it was already really good, so I'm not sure there will be plenty left for tomorrow... :)

Ingredients:
  • 20 dkgs of butter
  • 20 dkgs of sugar
  • 4 eggs 
  • 20 dkgs of flour
  • one teaspoon of baking powder
  • 10 dkgs of grated almonds
  • 250 dkgs of sour cherries
  • 2 tbslpoons of brown sugar
  • zest of one lemon
  • candied orange zest
  • raisins
  • candied lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon of cinnamon 
Stir the soft butter with the sugar until it's fluffy and add the eggs too, one after the other, and keep stiring it meanwhile. Then add the flour and the almonds too, plus the lemon and orange zest and raisins that you previously mix with the flour, give it a good stir, then add the cherries without the seeds. Put it in the preheated oven at 180 deg Celsius for an hour.
