Ingredients:

  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1-1/2 cups sugar
  • 1-1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 eggs
  • 2-1/4 cups cake flour
  • 1-1/2 tsp baking powder
  • glaze:
  • 1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • birthday candles, optional

Directions:

  1. In a bowl, beat cream cheese, butter, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine flour and baking powder; gradually add 2 cups to batter. Set aside five to six cherries for garnish. Chop the remaining cherries; add to remaining flour mixture with pecans. Fold into batter.
  2. Pour into a greased and floured 10-in. fluted tube pan. Bake at 325° for 1 hour and 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes; remove from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
  3. For glaze, combine sugar and milk in a small bowl; stir until smooth. Drizzle over cake. Decorate with reserved cherries and candles if desired. Yield: 12 servings.
