Prepare the Oven and Baking Dish
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish or a similar-sized ceramic dish.
Arrange the Cherries
Spread the pitted cherries evenly across the bottom of the prepared dish.
Mix the Batter
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until the mixture becomes pale and slightly airy.
Add the flour and stir gently until the batter is smooth and combined. Avoid excessive mixing.
Assemble the Dessert
Pour the batter evenly over the cherries, spreading it gently if needed to cover the fruit.
Bake
Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the surface is lightly golden and the center is set while remaining soft.
Rest and Serve
Allow the cherry sponge to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving by the spoonful or slicing into portions. Enjoy warm with your preferred topping.
✨ Warm, simple, and full of nostalgia, this Cherry Sponge is a reminder that some of the best desserts come from the most basic ingredients.
