Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh cherries pitted and halved
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • Whipped cream for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a round cake pan.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with buttermilk.
  • Fold in the halved cherries gently to avoid crushing them.

  • Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
