Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a round cake pan with butter or nonstick spray.

- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in each egg one at a time along with the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- Combine Ingredients: Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, then gently fold in the floured cherries.
- Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
