Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh cherries, pitted and halved
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an oven-safe pan with butter or nonstick spray.
- Prepare Your Cherries: Wash and pit the cherries. Cut them in halves if they're large.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and sugar until combined.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In another bowl, cream the softened butter with sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes). Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Combine Everything: Gradually fold the dry mixture into the creamy mixture. If needed, add a splash of milk for a smooth batter. Gently fold in the cherry halves until evenly distributed.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 45-50 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
