-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 13x9-inch baking pan.
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1/4 cup butter and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Beat in eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
-
Mix in sour cream, milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
-
Spread half of the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
-
Spoon cherry pie filling over the batter, spreading it gently to cover the layer.
-
Drop remaining batter by spoonfuls over the cherry layer and spread carefully to cover.
-
For the topping, combine 1/2 cup flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
-
Cut in 3 teaspoons of butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Stir in chopped nuts.
-
Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the cake batter.
-
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake (avoiding the cherry layer) comes out clean.
-
Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
