- 1 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt enhances the flavors
Wet Ingredients
- 3/4 cup Sugar granulated
- 1/2 cup Butter melted, unsalted
- 2 large Eggs or 1 cup plain yogurt for egg-free option
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 cup Milk whole milk recommended
Fruit
- 2 cup Cherries pitted and chopped; reserve about 1/2 cup for garnish, fresh
Instructions
Prepare the Cherries
- Rinse, dry, and pit the cherries. Divide them into two portions. Roughly chop one portion and set aside. Halve the remaining cherries and set aside for garnish.
Combine Dry Ingredients
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Combine Wet Ingredients
- In a large bowl, cream together the melted butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and milk.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in Cherries
- Gently fold in the chopped cherries.
Prepare the Baking Pan
- Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan. Alternatively, line the bottom with parchment paper.
Bake the Cake
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Arrange the halved cherries on top of the batter.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Best Cherry Cake:
- For an extra moist cake, use fresh, high-quality cherries.
- Don't overmix the batter, as this can lead to a tough cake.
- To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake; if it comes out clean, the cake is done. If not, bake for a few more minutes.
- Let the cake cool completely before slicing to prevent it from crumbling.
