CHERRY ALMOND MUFFINS OR COFFEE CAKE
I'm not sure where I originally got this recipe but I just recently tried it myself. Since the batter is more like a dough, I found it incredibly hard to layer in the muffin tins as described. Next time I'm going to use my springform pan and make a layered coffeecake instead and bake it for about 50 minutes.

Tips:
- Use a light touch when mixing the batter to avoid overworking it, which can make the cake tough.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- To make sure the cake is evenly baked, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
- To prevent the cake from sticking to the pan, grease and flour the pan before pouring in the batter.
- For a more pronounced almond flavor, use almond extract instead of vanilla extract.
- You can also add 1/2 cup of chopped almonds to the batter for a crunchy texture.
- Serve the cake warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
