Ingredients

• 200 grams All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 150 grams Unsalted butter, softened
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 3 units Large eggs
• 120 milliliters Whole milk
• 200 grams Pitted cherries, fresh or canned
• 2 tablespoons Icing sugar, for dusting

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Add the vanilla extract and mix until incorporated.

Step 5

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

Step 7

Gently fold in the pitted cherries using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 10

Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Once fully cooled, dust the cake with icing sugar before serving.
