Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
0.5 teaspoon salt
1.5 cups white sugar, divided
0.5 cup butter, softened
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 cups halved and pitted cherries
1.25 cups cherry juice

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish thoroughly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until combined.
In a separate bowl, cream together 1 cup of sugar and the butter with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 4-5 minutes. Mix in the milk and vanilla extract. Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing until the batter is well combined and thick, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Spread the cake batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Arrange the fresh cherries evenly over the top of the batter, and then drizzle the cherry juice over the cherries. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar evenly over the entire surface.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, usually taking about 40-45 minutes.
