Preheat the oven to 350-degrees. Put the butter into a 9x13 baking dish (or similar – I used my 1-1/2 qt Corningware dish). Allow the butter to melt while you mix up the batter.
Whisk together the flour, sugar, milk and baking powder in a mixing bowl.
Remove the baking dish from the oven once the butter is melted. Pour the batter into the dish.
Gently toss the cherries with tablespoon of flour, and place on top of the batter. The cherries will slowly sink during baking, so do not mix them into the batter.
Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Serve with Homemade Whipped Cream: https://www.jugglingactmama.com/2015/02/homemade-whipped-cream.html or ice cream.
