Description
Almonds, which are actually a fruit and not a true nut, have a real affinity for cherries and other stone fruits, to which they are related. Here, the two come together in a delectable cake that's sweetened with brown sugar and includes yogurt and coconut oil in the batter, for extra moistness and flavor notes. Pitted cherries (fresh or frozen) are layered on top of the batter once its spread in the pan, then sprinkled with sugar before going into the oven. It's as lovely as it is delicious.
