Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup milk
• 0.25 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup cherry pie filling
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Lightly grease an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) square baking pan.

Step 3

In the baking pan, sift the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt together. Gently stir to combine the dry ingredients evenly.

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the milk, vegetable oil (or melted butter), vanilla extract, and crack in the egg.

Step 5

Using a fork or spatula, carefully mix all the ingredients in the pan until the batter is smooth and no visible streaks of flour remain.

Step 6

Spoon the cherry pie filling over the batter, spreading it evenly across the top.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake (avoiding the cherries) comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

If desired, dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar before serving.
