I got this recipe from one of my husband's co-workers. It's now a favorite of our family and friends. Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened |
2 cups sugar |
3 eggs |
6 tablespoons maraschino cherry juice |
6 tablespoons water |
1 teaspoon almond extract |
3-3/4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2-1/4 teaspoons baking soda |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1-1/2 cups (12 ounces) sour cream |
3/4 cup chopped maraschino cherries, drained |
3/4 cup chopped walnuts, toasted |
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted |
confectioners' sugar, optional |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the cherry juice, water and extract; mix well. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with sour cream, beating well after each addition.
2. Divide batter in half. To one portion, add cherries and walnuts; mix well. To the second portion, add chocolate; mix well. Spoon half of the cherry mixture into a greased and floured 10-in. fluted tube pan. Cover with half of the chocolate mixture. Repeat layers.
3. Bake at 350° for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 15 minutes; remove from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with confectioners; sugar if desired. Yield: 10-12 servings.
