- 1.5 packages of baking powder
- A few drops of lemon juice
- 2.5 cups of flour

- Incorporate the Cherries:
- Carefully stir the cherries into the batter to distribute evenly without crushing them.
- Prep and Bake:
- Grease a cake mold with butter and refrigerate for 10 minutes. Lightly dust with flour to prevent sticking.
- Pour the batter into the prepared mold, tapping the mold on the counter three times to remove air bubbles.
