Cherry Loaf Pound Cake image

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

Time 2h10m

Yield 1 loaf cake

Number Of Ingredients 7

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

Steps:

  • Combine flour and salt.
  • Stir well to blend.
  • Mix 1/2 cup flour mixture with cherries.
  • Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, I use a high speed on my mixer till it is REAL fluffy.
  • Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Add remaining flour gradually.
  • Stir in extract and floured cherries, mixing until well blended.
  • Spread in greased loaf pan.
  • (I use a veg. spray).
  • Bake at 300DegreesF for 90-100 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  • Don't be concerned if cake cracks on top, it is supposed to.
