Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees and grease a 9" springform pan generously with cooking spray or oil.

Remove the stems from the cherries and pit using a cherry pitter. Use one bowl for the pits, then place the cherries on a cutting board and cut in half. If you don't have a cherry pitter, cut around all sides of the pit with a paring knife.

Place the eggs, maple syrup, olive oil, lemon zest, vanilla and almond extracts in a large bowl and whisk until incorporated.

Add the almond flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt, and whisk well to combine and until no lumps remain. Fold in 1 cup of the cherries and pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.

Top the cake with the reserved 1/2 cup cherries and sliced almonds, and bake for 40 minutes until golden brown and set, then remove from heat and cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, run a knife around the edge of the pan and release.

Dust the cake with powdered sugar if desired, then slice, serve and enjoy!
