Serving and Storage Suggestions
After baking, let the Cherry Almond Cake cool completely before taking it out of the pan. This helps keep its shape and texture.
Serving this treat offers a few choices. You can serve it warm or at room temperature. For a lovely look and extra sweetness, sprinkle some powdered sugar on top.
Want to make this cake more exciting? Add a bit of yogurt. The yogurt’s tanginess goes great with the cherries and almonds, making it even tastier.
For storage, an airtight container at room temp keeps the cake good for three days. If you want to save it for up to five, refrigerate it. Just know, it might get a little denser in the fridge.
