I’ve had my eye on this Cherry Almond Coffee Cake at epicurious.com for a few weeks now, thinking it would be a wonderful treat for the holiday season. I love cherries, I love almonds, and I really love cherries and almonds together. So, I gave it a test run this weekend, and it turned out wonderfully, gorgeous and so delicious. I made only a few changes. I increased the amount of cherries and almonds and used light sour cream, versus regular.

My husband, who can be very particular about his baked goods, declared it excellent. I agree and not only is it delicious, it is so pretty to look at. The bright red of the cherries is festive and beautiful and perfect for the holiday season, or any special occasion.

When I’m having guests staying at our house, or will be having family and friends stopping by, I love to have a beautiful baked good, displayed in my glass cake dome on the island in our kitchen. Something festive and inviting and allows guests to help themselves.

This Cherry Almond Coffee Cake fits the bill perfectly. It is so pretty and is wonderful for breakfast, a mid-morning or afternoon snack, or to nibble on throughout the day.
