Preparation:
CAKE: Combine dry ingredients. Add all other ingredients and mix well. Bake in two greased/floured 8" round pans at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes. Let cakes cool slightly. Transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
FILLING: Stir almond extract into cherry pie filling. Place one cool cake layer onto a baking sheet. Spoon about 1/2 of the filling onto cake. Top with second layer. (Cakes can be sliced horizontally to provide four layers.) Warm extra filling and serve as sauce with the finished cake.
MERINGUE: In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites for 2 minutes. Add the cream of tartar and vanilla. Keep beating on high speed and gradually add the sugar 1 Tbsp at a time. Stop when the mixture is stiff and glossy. Immediately spread the meringue on top and sides of cake. (Make sure to seal all of the cake.) Bake in a 375 degree oven for 8-10 minutes or until meringue is lightly browned. Let cool and remove carefully to a serving plate. |
