Ingredients List
- COFFEECAKE:
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened

- 1 tsp. almond extract
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp. sea salt
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 3 cups UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour (bleached flour toughens baked goods)
- 1 lb. fresh, pitted cherries divided use
- 1 cup sliced or slivered almonds (I used half cup of each)
- 1 cup coconut

- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp. almond extract

Directions
COFFEECAKE:
Preheat oven to 350°.
Pit cherries and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, mix butter, sour cream, vanilla, almond extract, sugar, eggs, salt, baking soda and baking powder.
Stir in flour, 2 cups pitted cherries, almonds and coconut with a wooden spoon until combined.
Batter will be very thick.
Grease and flour a large 12” cast-iron skillet.
Spread batter into prepared skillet. (I used wet hands to do this).
Spread remaining cherries over top of cake batter.
Bake at 350° about 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the very center of the cake comes out clean.
Cool completely before adding Almond Icing.
ALMOND ICING:
Whisk ingredients until combined.
Drizzle icing over cooled coffee cake.
Allow icing to set about 15 minutes before cutting into slices.
