Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pie plate 1 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled), plus more for pie plate 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup sugar 3 large eggs 1/2 teaspoon pure almond extract 1 bag (12 ounces) frozen cherries, thawed and dried 1/2 cup sliced almonds

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate (4-cup capacity); set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.

Using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in almond extract. With mixer on low, blend in flour mixture (do not overmix).

Transfer batter to prepared pie plate; scatter cherries and almonds on top. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       09/24/2019   Great, easy-to-follow recipe; simple ingredients; and the end result is a delicious flavourful cake.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       08/29/2019   I made cake to test it before taking it to a dinner in a few days. Followed the recipe with the addition of 1/2 tsp vanilla. It was easy to make and tasted wonderful. It is definitely going to the dinner with one change; the slivered almonds (which I did toast as I would for any recipe) will be decreased to 1/4c on top.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/05/2017   One of my favorite cakes. Recently made it with a jar of tart Morello cherries from Aldi. Toasted the almonds first. Sprinkled caster sugar on top before baking. Not too sweet. Even better the next day and stays fresh for days. Might try 1/2 tsp. of vanilla along with almond extract. Much more cakelike than a clafoutis or a far. Recommend serving warm with whipped cream or ice cream.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       07/24/2016   I have made this today it is excellent! It is not too sweet with 3/4 cups of sugar. So if you like it more sweet you can add a little more sugar. Otherwise I followed the recipe exactly. Very good I made one it dark cherry and blackberries and another with frozen blueberries and peach. It is very good! I recommend this recipe. Very versatile too.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 4 stars       03/06/2016   This looks delish & very similar to a favorite I've been making for several years. The finished product looks the same to me, the ingredients are pretty much the same, so what is the difference between this cake & a dark cherry-almond clafoutis?  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/20/2013   I've made this twice and loved it both times. Second time I used cranberries instead of cherries as they were easier to find at the store. Results still delicious.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/03/2011   This is a great recipe for a simple and elegant dessert. I have substituted with different kinds of berries and it's always great!  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       10/30/2010   Its a very good recipe  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       06/25/2010   Made this recipe with some fresh raspberries from a pick-your-own farm. DELISH! I'm telling everyone I know. And so easy and versatile - I love it!  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/16/2010   I made this recipe with peaches. It was out of this world.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/16/2008   I used frozen blueberries instead of cherries. Very nice, my husband likes it very much..  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/27/2008   Yummy. I just made this today with fresh blackberries. It really was easy
