I made a cherry cake for my mom the other day. This is what I do when I am especially missing her: Bake her favorite things. I used this recipe from Joy of Baking but reduced the sugar and added extra almond extract. I've never been a huge fan of cherries, so I had pretty low expectations. The cake was actually kind of amazing though, with a rich texture and delicate flavor. All in all, I'm sure that my mom would have been "tickled," which is what she always used to say whenever I'd do anything in the kitchen :)
