1 cup all-purpose flour
0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
0.5 tsp baking soda
0.5 tsp salt
1.5 cup granulated sugar
0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup milk
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cup pitted cherries
0.25 cup brown sugar
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to combine.
- In another bowl, mix the granulated sugar and melted butter until well combined and the mixture is smooth.
- Add the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, whisking until everything is fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until the batter is smooth and evenly mixed.
- Arrange the pitted cherries evenly on the bottom of the prepared cake pan and sprinkle the brown sugar over the top.
- Pour the batter into the cake pan, spreading it evenly over the cherries and smoothing the top.
- Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert it onto a serving plate and carefully remove the parchment paper.
- Let the cake cool completely before slicing and serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
