- Gradually add the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next to avoid curdling.

- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients, to maintain a smooth batter.
- Stir in the cherries and almonds gently to avoid overmixing and breaking down the fruit.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven to ensure even cooking and prevent the cake from sinking in the center.
- Use a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake to check for doneness; it should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
- Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before frosting to ensure a smooth and spreadable consistency.
- Beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy before gradually adding the powdered sugar.
- Add a splash of milk or cream to the frosting if it's too thick, or more powdered sugar if it's too thin.
- Frost the cake evenly and decorate with additional cherries and almonds for a visually appealing presentation.
