Ingredients

Scale

For the Cherry Topping

  • 1/4 cup (4 Tbsp) unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 cups (14 oz) fresh cherries, pitted and halved

For the Cake

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (spoon into measuring cup and scrape off the top)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup (8 Tbsp) unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
  • 2 large eggs, separated
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup whole milk, lukewarm
  • 1/4 tsp cream of tartar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven and prepare the pan: Preheat the oven to 350˚F (175˚C). Butter a 9-inch cake pan and melt butter with brown sugar on low heat in the pan. Spread mixture in pan.
  2. Add cherries: Arrange halved cherries cut-side down over the sugar mixture in the pan.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
  4. Beat sugar and butter: In a separate bowl, beat sugar and softened butter until fluffy. Add egg yolks and vanilla extract.
  5. Mix wet and dry ingredients: Alternate adding milk and flour mixture to the batter until well combined.
  6. Beat egg whites: In a clean bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff peaks form. Fold into batter.
  7. Bake: Pour batter into pan and bake for 55 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Cool and serve: Let the cake cool, then invert onto a platter before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the cake pan is well greased to prevent sticking.
  • This cake is best served warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
