Cherry loaf cake with a lemon scent

Cherry loaf cake with a lemon scent

I love summer fruits, and cherries are one my favorite. For sure I love them because they are the first fruit of the good season, but also for their wonderful combination of sweet and sour, the crunchy - juicy texture and their beautiful, joyful color.
At this time of the year, the cherries season is nearly at the end but I still want to celebrate this fantastic fruit with a super simply, incredibly easy but really delicious cake, in which cherries are the real main character. 
This cake is something in between healthy (lots of fruit, no butter, low added sugar) and guilty (super moist and soft, wonderful color, really tasty); it will be a perfect fruity and sweet breakfast or afternoon tea, but it will make a good impression even as a dessert, better if served lukewarm with a scoop of chocolate or vanilla ice cream or cold with a warm chocolate sauce.
