Smeer 'n diep ronde koekpan van 20cm deursnee. Voer die boom en wand van die pan met 'n dubbel lag waspapier uit. Voorverhit die oond tot 160C.
Sif die koekmeelblom, bakpoeier en sout saam. Voeg die pronutro by en meng. Voeg hierdie mengsel by die vrugte mengsel en meng goed. Skep die beslag in die koekpan en maak dit gelyk. Bak die koek 1 1/2 uur,
Gooi die sjerrie oor wanneer die koek uit die oond kom en laat die koek 10 min lank in die pan afkoel. Keer dit op 'n draadrak uit, Laat die koek heeltemaal afkoel en draai dit dan in was of btterpapier eb aluminiumfoelie toe. Bewaar 3-4 weke om ryp te word.

VERSIERSEL

Klits die eierwit liggies in 'n mengbak. Voeg die sitroensuur - of asynsuur by. Klop die versiersuiker teelepel vir teelepel by todatdie regte dikte verkry is. Om te toets, steek 'n mes daarin en trek dit weer uit; dit moet 'n sagte spitsie vorm.
