Directions

- * I used one of our fluted nonstick pans HERE
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Set aside.
- In another mixing bowl combine the sugar eggs and vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until pale yellow and fluffy. About 5 minutes.
- Beat in the mascarpone on low speed until smooth.
- Add in the dry ingredients until just absorbed. Do not over mix.
- Using a spatula or a wooden spoon, fold in the cherries and finally the melted and cooled butter.
- Arrange the halved cherries over the top of the cake and bake for 40-45 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool completely and dust with confectioners sugar.
