Рецепт Cherry Delicious Almond Cake
It's the first Monday of the month and that means it's Secret Recipe Club time again! I've got an absolutely delicious recipe for you this month...Cherry Delicious Almond Cake from the blog
The Keenan's, Chris and Rachel, are the creative husband and wife team behind The Keenan Cookbook which was started as a way to chronicle all of their family recipes. Chris cooks, bakes and handles most of the technical stuff on their blog and Rachel photographs. I love that they work together on their site! Their where so many great recipes to choose from. I bookmarked their Buttermilk Cornbread and Caramelized Onion and Spinach Olive Oil Quick Bread to make for another time, but this time around, I decided to give one of their most popular recipes a go...
Berry Delicious Almond Cake.
I didn't have any fresh berries on hand, but I did have a bag of frozen pie cherries calling out to be used up. Since almond and cherry are so good together, I decided to substitute cherries for the berries. I also added a few sliced almonds on the top of the cake and subbed buttermilk for the plain milk because I love, love, love to bake with buttermilk! The result? This cake...OMG...this cake! Wow! I know why it's one of their most popular recipes!
Cherry Delicious Almond Cake is moist, tender and nicely sweetened. I was going to cut back on some of the sugar in the cake, but since I used sour pie cherries, I kept it at a full cup, which was perfect. I sprinkled a little powdered sugar on top to garnish, but you don't have to do that if you don't want to. It's amazing straight up, served warm or at room temperature. It's great for breakfast, for dessert or as an afternoon snack with a cup of coffee.
Thank you Chris and Rachel for an amazing recipe that I am sure to make again and again!
