Rita, this is a FANTASTIC recipe!!! The pine nuts have a unique flavour which I like very much, and the combination of this spongy, not too sweet cake with the slightly tart fruit is to melt away! I made it gluten free with a mix of rice flour and arrowroot starch instead of flour, and I omitted 1 egg because I had to use rice syrup as a sweetener, but this worked great. Also I didn't make one cake but 12 pretty cupcakes which only took 20 minutes to bake. For DH I made the poached cherries and caramel sauce, for myself I made something similar with cranberries :D This will be a keeper for sure, thanks for posting! Made for Think Pink October 2009.
