Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and line a 9-inch (22 cm) cake pan with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the ground poppy seeds, flour, baking powder, and salt.
Melt the butter and in a separate bowl, whisk it together with the sugar and eggs until light and fluffy.
Add the vanilla extract and milk to the egg mixture, then gradually whisk in the dry ingredients until just combined.
Gently fold the pitted sour cherries into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
