Start by pitting the cherries. If you don't have a weaver you can use this very simple technique.
Place a cherry on a bottleneck and press on its body with a small rod forcefully. You will see that the pit will be ejected from the body of the cherry into the bottle.
Prepare the pitted cherries.
Put the eggs in a bowl with the sugar and work well either with an electric whisk or by hand.
Add the yogurt, the seed oil and continue to knead the dough.
Add the flour to which you have added the baking powder, vanillin and the vial of almond flavoring.
Grease a baking dish, lightly flour it and add sugar over the entire surface. I used brown sugar but granulated sugar is also fine.
Start putting the cherries on the base of the pan.
Cover the entire bottom.
Pour over the dough, leveling it well.
Bake at 180* for 30 minutes.
After cooking, let cool and turn the cake upside down on a serving plate.
Sprinkle with a light layer of powdered sugar. Enjoy this delight that will surely please young and old!
