Ingredients
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
2 teaspoons baking powder
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
1 ½ cups white sugar, divided
-
½ cup butter, softened
-
1 cup milk
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
4 cups halved and pitted cherries
-
1 ¼ cups cherry juice
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a deep 9x13-inch baking dish.
-
Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
-
Beat 1 cup sugar and butter in a separate bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in milk and vanilla. Add flour mixture and mix until batter is well blended and thick, 2 to 3 minutes.
-
Spread batter in the prepared baking dish. Arrange cherries over the batter, then drizzle cherry juice over top. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup sugar over the surface.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes.
Recipe Tip
The most time-consuming part of the prep work is pitting the cherries. This is easily done by slicing the cherry along its equator with a sharp knife and twisting the two halves. Put the edge of the knife blade between the pit and the fruit, and pull out the pit.
