Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

On low speed, mix in the sour cream and milk until combined.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Using a spatula, gently fold in the cherries and chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Step 11

If desired, dust the top of the cooled cake with powdered sugar before serving.
