Roughly chop the almonds; place in a bowl. Add the remaining sugar and stir to combine. Lightly grease 9 rounds of a cupcake tin (or line with cupcake liners). (If you don’t have a cupcake tin, lightly grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan.) Transfer the batter to the prepared tins. Evenly top with the sour cherry spread; using the tip of a butter knife, gently swirl. Evenly sprinkle with the almond-sugar mixture. Bake 16 to 20 minutes (muffin tin) or 29 to 33 minutes (loaf pan), or until the batter is cooked through and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Remove from the oven. Let stand at least 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
