Cook Time:

Servings:
6 Portions
Ingredients
  • 5 cups frozen or fresh pitted cherries
  • ⅓ cup + 2 tablespoons sugar, divided
  • 1 cup + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
  • Pinch of ground nutmeg
  • ⅓ cup almond flour
  • 1 ¾ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup butter, cold and diced
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  2. Place the cherries into a 9 x 13-inch ceramic baking dish, and then scatter over 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, the ground cinnamon, the ground cloves, and the ground nutmeg, before carefully mixing everything together so that the cherries are thoroughly coated with the flour mixture.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the remaining 1 cup of all-purpose flour, the remaining ⅓ cup of sugar, the almond flour, the baking powder, and the salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together until combined.
  4. Using cold, dry hands, add the cold, diced butter to the bowl and then rub the mixture between your fingertips to combine the butter and dry ingredients until they resemble wet sand.
  5. Then, add the buttermilk to the bowl, along with the vanilla extract and the almond extract. Mix the ingredients together until just combined.
  6. Using a spoon, dollop the batter on top of the cherry mixture in the ceramic dish, roughly covering the cherry layer. If using, sprinkle the sugar pearls on top of the batter.
  7. Place the almond spiced cherry cobbler into the preheated oven and cook for 1 hour, until the top is risen and golden, and the cherry layer is thick and bubbling. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
