Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Put the butter in a 9-inch round, deep-dish pie plate or shallow 2-quart baking dish. Put the pan in the oven until the butter melts, about 5 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, whisk together the flour, 1/4 cup of the sugar, the baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together the buttermilk and almond extract in a cup then whisk the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients just until moistened, leaving a few lumps.

3. Pour the batter over the melted butter in the pan. Scatter the cherries on top of the batter and sprinkle with the remaining sugar.

4. Bake until browned around the edges and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes.
