Cherry and Chocolate Marble Loaf Cake
Great British Baking Show ™ - Judging
John: "I'm doing a cherry and chocolate cake today. This is cherry paste to really get the cherry flavor in the cake. So I just hope for the best."
Voice Over: "Inspired by a family holiday to the Bavarian Alps, John will top his black forest loaf cake with dark chocolate ganache and cherry macarons."
Paul Hollywood: "One thing I do like about this is the height."
Prue Leith: "Proper loaf, isn't it there? Is there a swirl?"
Paul Hollywood: "That's the question. Oh, more of a splodge, really, isn't it? What I love about that cake is cherries are sour and you've imparted that into the sponge, which is quite tricky to do."
Prue Leith: "The texture's perfect, flavour's lovely. It's very good."

About The Great British Baking Show ™
The Great British Bake Off ™ (often abbreviated to Bake Off or GBBO and referred to in the United States as The Great British Baking Show ™) is a streamed British baking competition, in which a group of amateur bakers compete against each other in a series of rounds, hoping to impress the judges with their baking skills. One contestant in The Great British Baking Show ™ is eliminated in each round, and the winner is selected from the three contestants who reach the final.
The Great British Baking Show ™ operates on a weekly elimination process to find the best all-around baker from the contestants, who are all amateurs. In each episode, the bakers are given three challenges based on that week's theme: a signature bake, a technical challenge, and a show-stopper. The bakes are assessed by the judges who then choose a "Star Baker" for the week, and a contestant is also eliminated. In the final round, three bakers are left and a winner is chosen from the three.
