By Foodiewife

Ingredients

• Topping:
• 1/4 cup flour
• 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1/4 cup old fashioned oats
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
• Cake:
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 Tbsp butter
• 1 cup of plain lowfat yogurt (I used 0% fat Greek yogurt)
• 1 Tbsp vanilla
• 3/4 tsp almond extract
• 1 large egg
• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 cup of pitted cherries

Preparation

Step 1

For the topping: In a medium bowl, combine ingredients with your hands until it resembles coarse meal. Set aside.

For the cake: In a large bowl, beat the sugar and butter then add the yogurt, extracts and egg until combined.

Sift together flour, baking powder, soda and salt and slowly add dry indgredients into wet ingredients.

Spread the batter on the bottom of an 8" greased square cake pan (I use parchment paper, so it easily lifts out of the pan).

Place the cherries on top of the batter and then sprinkle the oat crumb topping over.
Bake 45 minutes at 350F. Let cool in the pan before removing.
