Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 320 °F (160 °C).
  2. Combine the first six ingredients in a large bowl and stir to remove any clumps.
  3. Transfer almond butter, maple syrup, oat milk and vanilla to a pot. Heat and stir to mix up everything. Alternatively, blend up the ingredients.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the bowl and stir to combine (don't overstir!). Lastly, fold in the cherries.
  5. Transfer the dough to a Ø 18 cm (7 inch) greased cake springform pan. Add a few cherries on top and press down slightly. Sprinkle slivered almonds on top and also press down slightly.
  6. Bake for 40-45 mins. Let cool completely.
  7. Serve with whipped coconut cream and store leftovers in the fridge for up to 7 days.

Notes

Instead of sprinkling powdered sugar on top, try sieved coconut flour! It's much healthier, looks very similar and you won't even taste it.
