Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prep an 8 or 9 inch baking dish with butter or baking spray. (I used a round dish, but the shape isn't important)

Step 2

Scatter the cherries in the bottom of the dish. Coarsely chop the pistachios and set aside.

Step 3

Mix the remaining ingredients together until smooth. (If using a blender, put all the liquids at the bottom).

Step 4

Pour the batter over the cherries and scatter the chopped pistachios on top.

Step 5

Bake until nicely browned on top and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes.

Step 6

If desired sprinkle the top with a little sugar (confectioner's or table sugar is fine).
