  7. Combine cherries with almond liquor (optional)
  8. Pour cake mix into prepared pans and add the cherry filling mix evenly on top of batter
  9. Use a knife to gently swirl it to create a marbleized effect
  10. Add cream cheese, in small sized dollops on top of cake
  11. Sprinkle reserved topping evenly on top of unbaked cake. If using almonds, add them to cake top
  12. Bake for 30-35 minutes.  Allow cake to cool before drizzling with icing

For icing:

Notes: It might take a few more minutes to bake depending on the depth of your pan. Serve with an ice-cold glass of Florida milk or with your café con leche in the morning or afternoon snack.
