Spread batter in greased 9-inch springform pan; spoon cherry filling over batter. Sprinkle with almond bran topping. Bake in preheated 350° F oven 50 to 55 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center tests done (filling will stick to wooden pick). Cool in pan on wire rack for 25 minutes.

Remove outside ring of pan; cool completely on wire rack. Drizzle with confectioner's sugar glaze; garnish with mint sprig if desired. Cut into wedges to serve.
