Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan or a well-greased bundt pan with butter or cooking spray.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 1/4 cups of flour and 3/4 cup of white sugar. Whisk them together until well blended.
3
Cut in 3/4 cup of butter or margarine using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, mixing until the mixture becomes crumbly.
4
Set aside 1/2 cup of the crumb mixture for topping later.
5
To the remaining crumb mixture, add 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, stirring to combine.
6
In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1 beaten egg and 3/4 cup of buttermilk or sour milk until well combined.
7
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir gently until just moistened. Do not overmix.
8
Spread 2/3 of the batter evenly over the bottom and partially up the sides of the prepared pan.
9
Spoon the cherry pie filling evenly over the batter, spreading it gently to cover.
10
Drop spoonfuls of the remaining batter over the cherry filling to create a rustic, textured top. Aim for about 1 cup of batter for this layer.
11
Sprinkle the reserved 1/2 cup of crumb mixture over the top of the cake.
12
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
13
Allow the cake to cool for at least 10 minutes before removing it from the pan. Serve warm or at room temperature.
