This is the BEST cherry pound cake! I have been making this delicious and moist pound cake for years. I have used glace cherries, maraschino cherries and canned bing cherries. It works great with all of them. I have never done it with all of them together though.... Ingredients:
1 cup butter |
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese |
1 1/2 cups sugar |
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla |
4 eggs |
2 cups flour |
1/2 cup flour |
1 cup cherries, drained |
3 tablespoons baking powder |
1/2 cup chopped nuts |
Directions:
1. Grease and flour an 8 inch tube pan. Mix 1/4 cup of flour with the cherries.
2. Cream together the butter, sugar, cream cheese and vanilla. Add eggs, beating in one at a time. Beat well.
3. Sift together flour and baking powder. Gradually add to creamed mixture. Fold in cherries.
4. Sprinkle nuts in prepared pan. Spread batter over. Bake in a preheated 325*F oven for 1 hour and 20 minutes. Let Cool 5 minutes before removing from pan. I have also baked this in two loaf pans with great success! (A shorter baking time is needed of course in that case!).
