Ford released a trailer on Twitter Thursday of himself in a kitchen making what he calls, the “famous premier’s cheesecake.”

“Do you know what one of the most popular ways to manage stress is? Baking! Stay tuned for some long-weekend inspiration,” Ford said in the Tweet.

In the trailer, Ford can be seen smoothing out the crust of the cake and then dabbing on a thick layer of cherries on top of his cheesecake.

“If I wasn’t premier, I would open up a cheesecake factory,” he says in the video.

A video and the official recipe are expected to be released Friday morning.
