This is a recipe my step mom came up with many years ago when we were in Michigan visiting family. It instantly became my favorite and one of my go-tos!
I love this recipe because it's minimal mess and so delicious!
The sides are slightly crunchy and the middle is tender and chewy.
The cherries are slightly tart and the cake is sweet.
A perfect combination!
Here's what you'll need:
- 1 can tart cherries
- 1 stick of butter
- 2 1/4 cups sugar
- 1 t vanilla
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 egg, beaten
- 3/4 cup flour
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Drain cherries, in a bowl mix cherries with 1 1/2 cups sugar. Set aside.
In a pie pan or square baking dish melt 1 stick of butter, stir 3/4 cup sugar and mix well.
Add in milk, vanilla and egg - Mix well.
Add in flour and mix well again.
It's okay if the mixture is lumpy, it will cook out.

Pour cherry mixture over the cake mixture,
make sure you pour all of the juice that was created as well.
Place in the oven in the middle rack for about 30 - 40 minutes until the middle has risen to about the same height as the sides.
Serve hot with vanilla ice cream!
Enjoy!!
