Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 cups pitted sweet cherries (about 1 1/4 lb)
1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour

This cake was a bit too dry for my taste, but the flavor was good. The cherries were sweet and juicy, and the cake had a nice crumb. I would make this cake again, but I would add more moisture next time.

This cake was a disappointment. The cake was dry and crumbly, and the cherries were tart and not very sweet. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.
