Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup sour cream (full-fat)
- 4 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 cups fresh cherries (pitted and halved)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a large bowl, beat together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then mix in sour cream and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold this mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined—do not overmix!
- Gently fold in the cherry halves. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar.
