preparation
1. Grease a 9inch cake pan [2 inches high] with the butter. In a medium bowl, sift the flour, baking
2. Powder, and salt.
3. In the bowl of a stand mixer or using a hand-held mixer, whisk the sugar and eggs until the mixture is pale yellow in color, about 5 minutes. Add the milk, oil, and vanilla and whisk for 2 minutes more. Add the flour mixture and whisk until just combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl. Pour the cake batter into the cake pan. Spread with a spatula to even out, if necessary.
4. Cook over Indirect Medium heat [about 350°F] for 20 minutes. Rotate the pan 90 degrees for even cooking. Continue to bake until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean and there is no jiggle in the center of the cake, 15 to 20 minutes more. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Run a knife around the edge of the cake, making sure to run the tip along the bottom of the pan. Invert out of the pan onto a board. Invert the cake again onto a serving platter.
5. In a medium bowl, mix the cherries, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and the lemon juice. Allow to sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile whip the cream with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar to stiff peaks. Slice the cake and serve with the cherries and whipped cream on top.
