Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a 20cm (8-inch) tart tin.
In a mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar-free sweetener together until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is well incorporated before adding the next.
Stir in the vanilla extract and almond extract.
In another bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a smooth batter forms.
Spread half of the batter evenly across the base of the prepared tart tin.
Gently spread the sugar-free cherry jam over the batter, avoiding the edges if possible.
Spoon the remaining batter over the jam layer and gently spread to cover.
Sprinkle the flaked almonds evenly over the top of the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the topping is golden and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the cherry bakewell to cool in the tin before transferring to a wire rack.
Serve as it is, or optionally, with a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream or a sugar-free ice cream.
