Stamping in Mississauga…and a recipe
Not everyone is in this photo…but this is some of the group from the Mississauga Holiday Stamp a Stack yesterday. Thanks to all who could make it! We had a good time stamping, chatting and…eating.
By request, I'm once again posting the cherry pound cake recipe to share with you. Please remember that if we're ever invited to the same pot luck, stamping event, whatever, that I get first dibs on bringing this dish ROFLOL.
Cherry Pound Cake
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp almond extract (**I use vanilla since we have nut allergies in the household)
1 cup candied cherries, halved
Mix together flour & salt, remove 1/2 cup of mixture & combine with halved cherries. Set aside. Cream together butter & sugar until fluffy, add eggs one at a time, blending well after each addition. Add extract. Gradually add the flour mixture, then add the floured cherries. Bake in greased loaf pan at 300 degrees for 90 minutes. Cake often cracks on top.
I'm also tagging this entry so that I can find it later on when I lose the recipe card again!!
