This coffee cake is absolutely the best served freshly baked from the oven. If you are serving it the next day, just pop it in the microwave to warm up a slice.
Blend together cherries, almonds and milk in a small saucepan over medium low heat. Stir on stove top until thickened. Remove from heat and cool.
Meanwhile, mix together egg whites and sugar. Stir into cooled cherry mixture.
Divide dough into two equal pieces and dust each with flour. Roll out (one at a time) to make an 18-inch circle. Pour half of the cherry filling onto the dough and spread out over the dough and roll up jelly-roll fashion.
Place on stove top and let rise for 30 minutes while preheating the oven to 350 degrees.
Bake for 45 minutes.
Cool in pan for 15 minutes and then invert to a cake plate. Drizzle with a cream cheese or vanilla glaze.
