Pit the cherries and drain any excess juice.
In a mixing bowl, combine the milk, oil, sugar, and eggs. Whisk thoroughly until smooth.
Gradually add the flour and baking powder to the mixture. Stir well to avoid lumps.
Grate the lemon zest and fold it into the batter.
Mix until the consistency resembles a thick cream.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper and evenly pour the batter into the tray, spreading it out smoothly.
Place the cherries (or your chosen fruit) on top of the batter.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for 30–40 minutes.
When the cake is golden brown and passes the toothpick test, remove it from the oven.
Allow it to cool in the tray.
Cut into portions, dust with powdered sugar, and serve.
Enjoy your delicious cherry sheet cake!
