    Preparation Steps

    1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and line a 9-inch (22 cm) cake pan with parchment paper.

    2

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the ground poppy seeds, flour, baking powder, and salt.

    3

    Melt the butter and in a separate bowl, whisk it together with the sugar and eggs until light and fluffy.

    4

    Add the vanilla extract and milk to the egg mixture, then gradually whisk in the dry ingredients until just combined.

    5

    Gently fold the pitted sour cherries into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

    6

    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.

    7

    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.
