Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 c sugar
1/2 c butter, softened
1/2 c crisco
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 tsp almond extract
4 eggs
3 c flour
1 can(s) cherry pie filling
GLAZE
2 c confectioners sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 Tbsp butter, softened
1 Tbsp milk

Steps:

  • 1. Lightly grease a jelly roll pan. Blend the following ingredients with a mixer: sugar, butter, shortening, baking powder, vanilla, almond extract and eggs. If you aren't in the habit of keeping almond extract around, just replace it with vanilla. If a little vanilla is good, more is better! Blend on low, then turn up the mixer to high for 3 minutes.
  • 2. Add the flour and blend by hand. Spread 2/3 of the batter in the jelly roll pan. Spread the pie filling over the batter and then, drop the remaining batter by spoonfuls onto the pie filling.
  • 3. Bake for 35-40 minutes in a 350 degree oven. Don't let it brown too much! While the cake is still slightly warm, drizzle with glaze.
  • 4. Directions for Glaze
  • 5. 1 Mix the confectioners' sugar, butter, and vanilla together.
  • 6. 2 Adding half the milk (or orange juice) to start with, stir in to make a thick glaze, adding just a drop at a time more until you get a nice thick glaze.
  • 7. 3 Spread or pour immediately over warm Danish.
