Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Vital Farms Unsalted Butter, room temperature, plus more for greasing baking dish
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 Vital Farms Egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/2 cup milk

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 °F. Butter a 10-inch skillet or baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or large bowl using a hand mixer, combine the butter and sugar and beat on medium for about 1 minute, until the mixture is incorporated and light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Add in the egg, vanilla and almond extracts and mix on medium again for a minute or so, until the egg has been thoroughly incorporated.
- Add in the dry ingredients and turn the mixer on low and mix until just mixed in.
- Transfer the batter to the buttered skilled and spread into an even layer. Spread the cherries evenly over the top and sprinkle with demerara sugar.
- Bake for about 30-35 minutes, until cake is puffed and golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool then serve.
