Preheat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit. Cover 9x13 cake sheet with parchment paper. Set aside
The Batter
Beat eggs and sugar in a large bowl with a hand or stand mixer until well combined. Slowly add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Continue to beat until the batter is smooth.
Transfer the batter onto the baking sheet and drop the cherries into the batter. Set aside.
Crumb Topping
In a separate large bowl and combine sugar, butter, and flour. Use a mixer and/or your hands to mix the ingredients until the dough is crumbly. Sprinkle the crumbs evenly over the batter.
Bake the cake for 35-40 minutes. Use a toothpick to check for doneness.

Notes
2022 Update: I used to make the batter with self-rising flour. I have since updated the recipe and am now recommending all-purpose flour (see blog post for more information). You can still use self-rising flour for the batter. If you choose to do that omit the baking powder and the salt.
