Chop the raisins and sunflower seeds and mix in. Grease a small baking pan (about 23 cm in diameter) and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Pour in the batter. Top with fresh cherries (you can also use cherries from a jar). Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for about 45 minutes. Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar and scatter the rosemary sprigs, fried in oil until crispy, on top. This cake is easy to make ahead and will keep fresh for a long time in the refrigerator.
