My friend Akiko-chan taught me this cake recipe about 10 years ago. I always make this each year when sweet black cherries are in season.

Please adjust the amount of batter depending on your pan. If you can see the cherries, I think it's much cuter. But they do taste better if they are buried in the batter.
I think this cake taste better the next day, when the flavors have blended together. Please wrap it up tightly and store it in the refrigerator. For some reason, it has a cheesecake flavor. Recipe by Yumerino

1

Line the cake pan with kitchen parchment paper, or grease it with margarine (not included in the listed ingredients). Bring all the ingredients to room temperature. Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Cut the cherries in half all the way around the pits. Twist the halves to separate them while removing the pits. Soak the cherry halves in kirsch.
3

Whip the butter.

Mix the sugar into the butter in 2~3 batches, mixing well between additions.
5

Add the beaten egg a little at a time while whipping. Lastly mix in the kirsch that the cherries were soaking in.
6

Sift the dry ingredients into the batter. Use a rubber spatula to fold them in.
7

Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the surface.
8

Place the cherries on top and bake at 180°C for 35 minutes. As ovens vary, please adjust the temperature and time accordingly.
