Cherry Almond Cake

Here's another fool-proof amazing dessert. Sounds ordinary, but tastes extraordinary!

Cherry Almond Cake
1 cup flour
1 1/4 t baking powder
1 stick butter, room temp
1 1/4 c. sugar
2 eggs
2 t almond extract
15 ounce jar pitted cherries (I use ones in a glass jar)

Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 9-11 inch springform pan. (I like butter flavored Crisco)

Beat sugar and butter about 3 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time. Add almond extract. Sift flour and baking powder and add to butter mix. Mix until incorporated. Scrape into pan. Top with drained cherries. Bake 65 minutes. Cool 10 minutes on rack and remove sides of pan. Top with powdered sugar.

I lost this recipe a few years ago. Thank you so much for posting it. For those of you who haven't had it, you must make it tonight. I'm not a baker, but I can do this one!
