Notes

Almonds add crunch and flavor but can be omitted for a nut-free version.
Yellow cake mix works best, but white, lemon, or chocolate are great options too.
Keep cherries frozen—no need to thaw before baking.
You can swap whipped cream for ice cream or serve with both.
Add a splash of vanilla or almond extract for extra flavor if desired.
