    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line with parchment paper.

    Beat in the 2 eggs one at a time, then stir in 1/2 cup flour until just combined. Do not overmix.

  4. Step 4

    Pour batter into prepared pan. Scatter 1 cup cherries over the top, pressing lightly.
