Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a round cake pan.

In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and sugar until well combined.

In another bowl, cream the softened butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add in the sugar mixture.

Beat in eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract until smooth.

Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.

Gently fold in the cherries to maintain their integrity.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
