A delightful cake featuring sweet cherries and nutty almonds, perfect for any gathering or cozy afternoon.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (sifted)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder (check expiration date)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp almond extract
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen cherries (pitted)
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds (toasted)
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar (for sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl: flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Cream the butter and sugar in a separate bowl until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the almond extract.
  5. Combine the buttermilk into the butter mixture alternately with the dry ingredients, starting and ending with flour.
  6. Fold in the cherries gently to avoid breaking them up too much.
  7. Pour the batter into your prepared cake pan and smooth it out evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Cool the cake in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
  9. Optional: Dust with powdered sugar for an elegant finish before serving.

Notes

  • Check the expiration date on the baking powder.
  • Ensure the cherries are pitted before adding them to the batter.
