Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup Sue Bee® Honey
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups sweet cherries in juice
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • Sift the 2 cups flour (set aside reserved 1/4 cup for cherries), baking powder, baking soda, and salt together into a bowl.
  • In a second bowl, toss the cherries with the reserved 1/4 cup flour.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter until it is light and fluffy; add the Sue Bee® honey and sugar gradually, beating the mixture until it is very light.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time.
  • With mixer at lowest speed, add the flour mixture.
  • Fold the floured cherries into the batter.
