Preparation Steps

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with liners.
• In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
• In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture alternately with the milk, mixing just until incorporated. Fold in the cherries.
• Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
• Allow cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
