Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, using an electric mixer, cream the butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
Add in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Reduce the mixer speed to low and alternately add the dry flour mixture and milk to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Layer the pitted cherries evenly over the batter, pressing them lightly into the surface.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture over the cherries, creating a streusel-like topping.
Bake the cake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for at least 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
