I started cooking at age 13 when my brother, sister and I moved from an orphanage into a house with 13 rooms and 10 people. My sister and I became the household cooks. To this day, I like to cook but hate washing the dishes! Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups sugar |
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1/2 cup shortening |
1 teaspoon almond extract |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
4 eggs |
3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling |
glaze: |
1 cup confectioners' sugar |
1 to 2 tablespoons milk |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the sugar, butter, shortening, extracts, baking powder and eggs. Beat on low speed until blended; beat on high for 3 minutes. Stir in flour.
2. Spread two-thirds of the batter into a greased 15-1/2-in. x 10-1/2-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Spread pie filling over batter; drop remaining batter by tablespoonful over filling. Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until golden. Combine the confectioners' sugar and milk; drizzle over coffee cake. Serve warm. Yield: 18-20 servings.
