picklepuss Cherry Cake Recipe

Cherry Cake

Just before I begin, I drain my cherries in a strainer and add about 2 Tbsp. of the flour amount so the cherries won't clump together.

3 1/2 c. flour
1 1/2 Tsps. baking powder (stir in a large bowl)

Mix
1 1/2 c. of butter or margarine
1 3/4 c. sugar . (cream with heavy beaters until white)

4 eggs........one at a time . ( add to above mixture)
I tin of Nestles Cream and add milk to make one cup or substitute 1 cup of heavy cream
1 teaspoon almond flavoring

Mix thoroughly and add 1 1/2 cups of either whole or chopped Maraschino cherries.

Bake @ 350 for 1 hour. I always check beforehand with a knife to make sure no dough is remaining before I take it out of the oven.
