Instructions:

1. Preparation:

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Grease an 8×8 inch cake pan to ensure the cake doesn’t stick.

2. Mixing the Batter:

   • In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of sugar, flour, evaporated milk, water, vanilla, egg, and butter.
   • Use a mixer to beat the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.

3. Preparing the Cherries:

   • In a saucepan, combine the tart cherries, 1/2 cup of sugar, and almond extract.
   • Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture until it begins to boil.

4. Assembling the Cake:

   • Once the cherry mixture is boiling, remove it from the heat.
   • Using a slotted spoon, spoon the cherries evenly over the batter in the cake pan.
   • Next, pour the remaining juice from the cherry mixture over the batter.

5. Baking:

   • Place the cake pan in the preheated oven.
   • Bake at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

6. Finishing Touches:

   • Once the cake is baked through, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
   • After 5 minutes, carefully invert the cake onto a serving plate, allowing the cherries to become the top layer of the cake.

7. Serving:

   • Serve the Cherry Upside Down Cake warm or at room temperature.
   • For an extra treat, top each slice with a generous spoonful of cool whip before serving.
