Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350F / 180C and line an 8-inch cake tin with baking paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and a pinch of salt.
1 ½ cups all purpose flour,
1 ½ teaspoon baking powder,
¼ teaspoon salt,
¼ teaspoon baking soda
In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar until light and fluffy; add the lemon zest, vanilla extract and oil and beat until combined.
2 eggs,
¾ cup white sugar,
1 teaspoon lemon zest,
¼ cup vegetable oil,
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Now, whisk in milk and yogurt and then stir in the flour mixture and fold in the pitted cherries (keep some to scatter on top).
½ cup plain greek yogurt,
¼ cup milk,
2 cups fresh cherry
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, top with remaining cherries and sprinkle some granulated sugar on top.
1 tablespoon sugar
Bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes and then let cool; sprinkle powdered sugar on top of the cake, cut and enjoy!
2 tablespoon powdered sugar
Notes
Don't open the oven door. Opening the oven while baking allows chilly air, which can prevent baked goods from rising correctly.
Take the time to measure out your ingredients before beginning this recipe.
Let your baked cake cool down completely first before topping it with powdered sugar since the heat will only melt the sugar.
Use all the ingredients at room temperature, especially butter and eggs.
