I had to decrease the ingredients by a third (because someone ate that many of my cherries!), but still it came out delicious. I loved the combination of chocolate, cherries and almonds Thank you, Linky! Made for CQ '17.

This had very good flavor and was certainly different from what I think of as cake. 1. I had whole almonds. You can't slice your own almonds. I ended up with chunks. 2. It didn't specify what kind of chocolate. I used chocolate chips, run through the food processor. 3. I used sweet cherries, probably shout have used tart. 4. I think lower temperature for more time. The top was brown and firm after 45 minutes and toothpick was wet with no batter so I took it out. It was very wet and raw in the middle.
