This is a very nice loaf cake for any occasion. It is SO tasty. I have had the recipe for years, don't know where it came from. Glace cherries are candied cherries that you buy in the baking section of the store Ingredients:
2 cups flour or 2 1/4 cups cake-and-pastry flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 cup glace cherries, quartered |
1 cup butter (you could use margarine, but tastes best with butter) |
1 cup sugar |
4 eggs |
2 teaspoons almond extract |
Directions:
1. Combine flour and salt.
2. Stir well to blend.
3. Mix 1/2 cup flour mixture with cherries.
4. Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, I use a high speed on my mixer till it is REAL fluffy.
5. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
6. Add remaining flour gradually.
7. Stir in extract and floured cherries, mixing until well blended.
8. Spread in greased loaf pan.
9. (I use a veg. spray).
10. Bake at 300DegreesF for 90-100 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
11. Don't be concerned if cake cracks on top, it is supposed to.
