Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with some butter or cooking spray.

  4. Combine the wet and dry ingredients and stir until just mixed. Fold in the cherries gently.
  5. Transfer the batter into the prepared pan and smooth it out. Bake for 25-30 minutes.
  6. Prepare the crumb topping by mixing the melted butter, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, sugar, and baking powder.
  7. Sprinkle the crumb topping over the baked cake. Add more cherries on top if desired, and bake for another 15-20 minutes.
  8. Cool the cake in the pan for 10-15 minutes before cutting into squares.
