Almond Cherry Tres Leches Cake

For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9- by 13-inch cake pan.

Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl.

Cream the butter and sugar with an electric mixer on high until it turns pale yellow. Mix in the eggs and almond extract. Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until fully combined – avoid over-mixing. Fold in drained cherries. Pour into the prepared pan and evenly spread the batter out.
