Ingredients

• 4 tbsp. salted butter, melted, plus more for the pan
• 1 1/4 cups plus 2 tsp sugar
• 1 cup self-rising flour
• 1 cup whole milk, at room temp
• 2 cups fresh Bing or other sweet cherries, pitted
• Whipped cream and/or ice cream, for serving

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350. Butter a 12-inch cast-iron skillet.

2. Whisk 1 cup sugar, the flour and milk in a medium bowl. Whisk in the melted butter. Pour the batter into the skillet and sprinkle the cherries evenly over the top. Sprinkle 1/4 cup sugar over the cherries.

3. Bake until golden brown on top and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, about 50 minutes, sprinkling the remaining 2 tsp sugar over the top during the last 10 minutes. Let cool 20 minutes. Serve warm, topped with whipped cream or ice cream…..or both!
