Easy Cherry Almond Coffee Cake is sweet and tangy.
Did you know today is National Almond Day? I love almond extract so I made this easy Cherry Almond Coffee Cake (Gluten Free) to share as a snack at Quaker Meeting recently. It’s pretty simple to make. The only trick with gluten free cakes and breads is that they need eggs (or something) to bind them together, and the batter needs to be whipped on high speed for a couple of minutes to whip some air into it and lighten it up a bit. When I want to make a cake with a hearty topping like this one, I bake the cake for a little while—in this case, 10 minutes—before adding the topping. Otherwise the topping will sink to the bottom and it won’t be as pretty. Of course, it will still taste super good.
The combination of sweetness, almond extract flavoring, and tart cherries is so good. I could sit down and eat the whole cake. Luckily, others at Meeting helped me. They ate more than half. If I was a purist, I would have topped it with chopped almonds. That would be super good, too.
What You Need
For this recipe, you will need a bowl, measuring cups and spoons, an electric mixer and a small food processor. And of course, almond extract and tart dried cherries.
