Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tsp almond extract
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen cherries, pitted and halved
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds (for topping)
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the almond extract and vanilla extract.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk. Start and finish with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  • Gently fold in the halved cherries, being careful not to break them up too much.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle the sliced almonds over the top of the batter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • If desired, dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can soak the cherries in a bit of almond liqueur  before adding them to the cake.

  • You can substitute the cherries with other berries like raspberries or blueberries for a different flavor profile.

  • Ensure that the cake has cooled completely before storing it to keep it fresh.
