Steps

  • For the batter: Wash and dry the cherries, then pit them.

  • Pour the batter into a greased and floured 12-inch mold. Top with almond slices.
    Bake in a static oven at 340°F for about 50-60 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
    Let the loaf cake cool slightly before removing from the mold and serve in slices.
