Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and spray 9"x13" baking pan with cooking spray.
- Cream together sugar, butter, yogurt, vanilla, and eggs until smooth.
- Add flour and baking powder to creamed ingredients and mix well.
- Spread 2/3 of the batter in the baking pan then cover with cherry pie filling. Dot pie filling with remaining batter.
- Bake for 35 minutes.
- Make glaze by combining powdered sugar, almond extract, and milk and mixing well.
- While the cake is still warm, drizzle with glaze.
- Allow cake to cool before cutting and serving.
Notes
- Use a knife to swirl the top batter around a bit so you don’t end up with huge clumps of the top layer rather than cake throughout.
- Spread the cherry pie filling around into as even of a layer as possible so you get that good layer of cherry in each piece.
- Store cake in the refrigerator for up to a week in an airtight container or just in the baking dish with a lid.
- Cut the cake into smallish pieces. It’s a fairly rich (and moist!) cake so I’d start with small pieces and let people get seconds if they want more.
- Serve with pitted fresh cherries during the summer when cherries are good. Serve with chocolate covered cherries on top during the winter for a fun holiday treat!
