Servings: 8
Equipment
- 8-inch round cake pan
- Mixer
Ingredients
- 2 1/3 cups almond flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs beaten
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted and cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract
- ½ cup fresh cherries pitted and halved
- ¼ cup sliced almonds
- powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper, cut into a circle to fit, and then grease with cooking spray; set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Make a well in the center of the bowl and add in the beaten eggs, melted butter, vanilla and almond extract. Stir until well combined.
- Pour into the prepared pan and smooth out into an even layer. Top with the cherries and sprinkle with almonds. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick, inserted in the middle, comes out clean, about 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes before removing the cake from the pan onto a plate to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before cutting and serving. Enjoy!
