Cake Directions
- 1
Prepare the Topping
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a 9-inch round cake pan, melt 1/2 cup of butter over low heat. Once melted, sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the butter. Arrange the cherries on top of the sugar mixture.

Make the Cake Batter
In a large bowl, cream the remaining 1/2 cup of butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk, until just combined.

Combine and Bake
Pour the batter over the cherries in the prepared pan, smoothing it into an even layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate.
