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.
