I always use frozen sweet cherries as they are cheaper, usually better quality and way more convenient as they are already pitted.  I do not thaw them first to cut down on the cherry juice mixing into the batter.  You can flour the cherries first but I don’t notice the difference personally.  You could also use fresh cherries and in that case I would definitely flour the cherries.

In the list of ingredients you mention 1 tbl vanilla extract, but you don't mention when to add it in the instructions. I assume it's with the lemon juice?

I'm making this right now! Smells amazing! I only changed one thing because my husband is so into lemon. I swapped lemon juice for milk in the icing! I'll let you know how it is!
