Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 0.25 cups Whole milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Fresh cherries, pitted and chopped
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk the melted butter, heavy cream, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should still be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Fold the chopped cherries into the batter, distributing them evenly throughout.

Step 6

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

If desired, dust the tops with powdered sugar before serving.
