Cherry almond Bundt Cake (Bundt cake de cerezas y almendras)









Here we go again, Hi to all !!
I'm a little embarrassed to say that I was sick with a terrible cold and bronchitis,  finally after taking antibiotics (I didn't want to)Im better.
I don't want to bore anyone, but it was. A week I hardly knew about me.
But here I am and I made one of my favorites cakes : A cherry almond bundt cake . It doesn't cost me so much even though my arm still hurts to beat.
I also recommend this recipe cause I love Bundt cakes :) 
This cherry almond bundt cake  is a traditional pound cake filled with cherry pie filling  with a cream cheese glaze.

Thank you for the greetings and love and those who ask how I am, I appreciate it very much! Hugs for all!!

In a separate bowl, sift the flour first and then measure out 3 cups.Then add the baking powder and salt.
Next add half of the dry ingredients and tyen half of the milk, beating just until the flour is partially combined.
Then add the second half od the dry ingredients followed by the remaining milk. Continue to beat until all ingredients are well combined.

Strain the cherry Pie filling through  a fine sieve to extract  the cherries form the juice.

Note.
If you use frozen cherries put  them in a medium pan, add 2 tablespoons of sugar and 2 tablespoons of water, stir, and add one tablespoons of cornstarch and stir well until will be thick (like a  jam)

Pour about 1/3 of the batter into the bottom of the pan.
