INGREDIENTS

• 12 ounces (345 g) pitted cherries, halved

• 2 ¾ cups (400 g) plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

• 1 ⅓ cups (290 g) granulated sugar

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• 1 teaspoon fine sea salt

• ½ teaspoon baking soda

• 3 large eggs, at room temperature

• 1 cup (250 ml) olive oil

• 1 cup (250 ml) milk, dairy or plant-based

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

• 1 teaspoon almond extract

• 1½ cups (180 g) confectioner’s sugar

• Heavy cream

INSTRUCTIONS

• Adjust oven rack to the center position and preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray or oil a nonstick 12-cup fluted cake pan and lightly dust with flour (make sure to get into the crannies)

• Toss the cherries in a small bowl with 2 tablespoons flour.

• Stir together the remaining 2 3/4 cups flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a large bowl until combined.

• Whisk the eggs in a medium bowl. Drizzle in the oil little by little until emulsified. Stir in the milk and extracts.

• Pour the egg mixture over the flour mixture, stirring just until the batter is smooth and no flour is visible. Gently fold in the cherries.

• Scrape the batter into the pan. Bake 50-55 minutes, until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out dry. Cool the cake in the pan 20 minutes, then invert onto a cooling rack to cool completely.

• For the Glaze, stir the sugar and 2 tablespoons of heavy cream in a bowl until smooth. Add more cream if needed by the tablespoon until you have a thick but spreadable consistency. Set the cake on a wire rack over a piece of parchment paper and drizzle the glaze over. Let it set slightly before slicing.
