Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Butter a 10-inch baking dish or cast iron skillet. Spread cherries out in a single layer. Set aside.
Combine the milk, eggs, sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla extract in your blender's carafe and blend until just incorporated.
Add the flour and salt to the blender and blend until well-incorporated and lump-free.
When the batter is entirely integrated, pour it over the cherries. Carefully set dish or skillet into the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes. It is done when it no longer wiggles in the center.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
