Warm Almond-Cherry Cake image

Frozen cherries become juicy and intense when baked into this tender cake. Your freezer aisle is the best place to savor summer fruit any time of year. Frozen blueberries, blackberries, raspberries -- or a combination thereof -- would work well in this recipe if you can't find cherries.

Number Of Ingredients 9

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
