Cake Batter
- 1/2 cup butter
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 large egg

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees
- Prepare a 9-inch baking pan but buttering it and lining the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a microwave safe bowl melt 1/4 cup of butter and pour at the bottom of pan, add your brown sugar to the bottom and add cherries.
- In a small bowl mix together your flour, salt, baking powder, and cardamom and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, beat together your white sugar, and 1/2 cup of butter, add your egg and beat then add vanilla. You can do this by hand or use a hand mixer to mix ingredients together.
- Add your flour mixture and gradually add your milk to your butter and sugar mixture and mix until combined.
- Pour your cake batter over your cherries brown sugar and melted butter and bake in your preheated oven for 45 – 50 minutes until a tooth pick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Remove from oven, and let rest for 10 minutes and when it is still hot, use plate to flip over cake, peel off parchment and serve hot!
- I like to serve this with whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream.
