Scale

4 large eggs
1 c. packed light brown sugar
1/2 c. butter
10 cherries (halved)
1 tbsp. butter (melted)
1 tsp. almond extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.

- Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Use separate bowls. Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form and gradually add granulated sugar. Beat egg yolks until thick and yellow.

Notes
As much as possible, use a 10-inch cast-iron skillet. You would know that the cake is baked when you insert a toothpick in the center and it comes out clean.
