Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in buttermilk.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the cherries.
  • Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let cool completely before serving.

Notes

For a sweeter cake, add 1/2 cup more sugar. You can also use frozen cherries, but make sure to thaw them completely and drain any excess liquid before adding them to the batter.
