Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1.5 cups flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
Step 3
In a large bowl, cream the 0.5 cup butter and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the 2 eggs one at a time, then stir in the 1 teaspoon vanilla.
Step 4
Add the flour mixture alternately with the 0.5 cup milk, starting and ending with flour. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
Step 5
Fold in the 1.5 cups cherries. Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
Step 6
Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30-35 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 7
Once cool, frost with your favorite pink frosting and decorate with additional cherries if desired.
