Stir down the risen batter and beat in the almonds, raisins, and lemon peel. Pour the batter into a greased and floured 1 1/2-quart charlotte mold or deep cake pan. Let rise for 1 hour. Bake in a 350 F. oven for 50 minutes. Let cool in the pan for20 minutes, then remove. Beat together the confectioners' sugar and 1 tablespoon of milk to form a glaze. To serve, place the cake on a serving platter, drizzle the glaze on top and garnish with cherries. [THE BALTIMORE SUN; February 17, 1991] per Fred Peters ----
