Cherry coffee cakes like this are beloved in Hungary. There, the cherries are usually left unpitted so the stones can add their subtle almond-like flavor to the batter--no one seems to mind spitting out the pits. Here, pitted fresh cherries would probably be best, or use frozen cherries. My version uses ground almonds in the batter.
