ALMOND CRUMB TOPPING

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F

Grease and flour an 8 inch springform pan then line the pan with parchment paper and grease the parchment paper.

In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugars together on medium speed until fluffy. About 3 to 4 minutes.

If using a stand mixer make sure to occasionally stop and scrape the sides of the bowl.

Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure to mix well after each addition.

Mix in the vanilla and almond extracts.

In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.

With the mixer reduced to low, gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture while alternating with the almond milk.

Begin and end with the flour mixture.

Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth the top with an offset spatula.

Spread the pitted cherries evenly over the cake batter.

Sprinkle the almond crumb topping over the cherries.

Bake the cake for about 1 hour or until a wooden skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Remove the cake from the oven and let cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before releasing the cake and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

The cake can be covered and stored at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to 6 days.

Almond Cherry Crumb Cake

cherry sauce

flour

65 g white granulated sugar ((⅓ cup / 2.3 ounces))

unsalted butter, cold ((¾ stick / 3 oz))

g cornflour (US corn starch) ((¼ cup / 1.2 ounces))

baking soda

salt

135 g white granulated sugar ((⅔ cup / 4.8 ounces))

sour cream (full fat

lemon juice ((note 1))

Preheat the oven to 180C (160C fan) / 350F. Grease and line an 8 inch spring form cake tin.

Make the cherry sauce using this recipe.

In a medium bowl, combine the, flour, half the almonds and sugar. Grate in the butter. Use your fingers to mix and press it all together until well combined and clumping. Mix through the remaining almonds. Chill until required.

FOR THE CRUMBLE TOPPING

Sift together the flour, cornflour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, using a hand mixer, beat together the butter and sugar until pale and creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time beating well between each. Mix through the lemon zest, juice and almond extract.

Fold in half of the flour mixture. Now fold through the sour cream, followed by the remaining flour mixture to make a thick batter. Make sure not to over-mix.

Tip the batter into your prepared baking tin then spread to the edges and level out the top.

Strain the cherry sauce to separate most of the syrup from the cherries, then set the syrup aside. Dollop the cherries over the batter at least 1cm in from the edges. Leave about a 1 inch circle in the centre of the batter bare as well.

Loosely scatter the crumble topping all over the top.

Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a skewer comes out of the centre clean. Cool in tin until it’s cool enough to handle and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serve with the leftover cherry syrup.
