Ingredients

Scale

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 ½ cups pitted cherries (fresh or frozen)
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup milk

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9-inch cake pan to ensure your cherry chip cake releases easily after baking.
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt for an even texture.
In another bowl, beat the softened butter with the granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk into the butter mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
Carefully fold in the cherries and chocolate chips, ensuring an even distribution throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35–40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely before serving.

Notes

For best results, toss the cherries in a little extra flour before folding them in to help prevent sinking.
For an extra twist, try adding ½ teaspoon of almond extract or ½ cup of chopped walnuts for added flavor and texture.
Store any leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
