CHERRY ALMOND BUNDT CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°; brush the inside of a 10-cup Bundt pan thoroughly with melted butter and dust it lightly with flour (use a pastry brush to help distribute the flour and tap out any excess).
• In a medium saucepan, combine 1/4 cup sugar with the cornstarch; stir in the cherries, orange juice, lemon zest, and 1/4 teaspoon almond extract.
• Bring to a boil over med-high heat and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened considerably and reduced to about 1 cup.
• Whisk the cake flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl until well combined.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat the butter with the remaining 1 cup sugar and the canola oil on medium-low speed for 2-3 minutes, until light and fluffy.
• Beat in the vanilla and remaining 1 teaspoon almond extract.
• Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
• With the mixer on low, add the flour mixture (in three increments) alternating with the yogurt (in two increments), beginning and ending with flour and beating until just incorporated.
• Pour a little more than half of the batter into prepared pan.
• Spoon the cherry mixture directly on top of the batter, then pour the remaining batter over the cherries.
• Using a knife, swirl the batter and cherries together.
• Bake for 50-60 minutes, until a toothpick comes out with no crumbs (it may have cherries on it).
• Let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
• Carefully run a knife around the edges of the pan and the center tube to loosen the cake from the sides.
• Invert the pan onto a serving plate.
