📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. With a mixer, beat the eggs with the sugar until slightly thickened and light in color, about ⏱️ 5-7 minutes. The mixture should almost double in size.

The eggs work as your leavening agent in this recipe, so do not skip this step. This mixture should form a ribbon when you lift the beaters out of the bowl.

3
Add the soft butter and vanilla; mix two more minutes. Stir in the flour until just combined. Add the cherries and stir to mix throughout.
4
Spread in a buttered 9×13 pan. (This pan is my favorite!) Bake for ⏱️ 30-35 minutes, or until very lightly browned and a toothpick inserted near the center of the cake comes out clean. (I bake mine for ⏱️ 34 minutes most of the time.)
5
Cool completely before slicing into squares. To glaze the cake, stir together the powdered sugar, milk, and almond extract. It should drizzle off the spoon in a thick white stream. Lightly drizzle the pieces of cake and allow them to rest until the glaze has set.
