  • Servings 8

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • Grated peel of 1 lemon
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup butter, melted
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 1/2 cups Cascadian Farm® organic frozen sweet cherries
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds
  • 2 tablespoons white sanding sugar or coarse sugar, if desired

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 9-inch cast-iron skillet with shortening or butter.
  • 2
    In large bowl, mix granulated sugar and lemon peel. Add eggs, one at a time, beating with whisk after each addition. Stir in flour and salt. Add melted butter, vanilla and almond extract; stir with whisk until combined.
  • 3
    Pour batter into skillet. Spoon cherries evenly over batter. Sprinkle with almonds and sanding sugar.
  • 4
    Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool on cooling rack 5 minutes before cutting. Serve warm.

  • If you don’t have a cast-iron skillet, you can use a 9-inch round cake pan.
  • Rub the lemon peel into the sugar with your fingers. This will release the oils in the lemon, adding even more lemon flavor to the cake.
  • This recipe is incredibly versatile. It is just as delicious without fruit, but also good with any fruit in season. Try fresh raspberries!
