During the 21 years my husband was in the Navy, the wives got together to exchange recipes. This one's from a California woman, and it's great. All five of my daughters have added this to their recipe collections. Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter, softened |
1/2 cup sugar |
1 egg |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/4 cup milk |
1/2 cup cherry 100% spreadable fruit |
4 drops red food coloring, optional |
topping: |
1/4 cup sugar |
2 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 tablespoon cold butter |
1/4 cup chopped walnuts |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine flour and baking powder; gradually add to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beating well after each addition.
2. Spread half of batter in a greased 8-in. square baking dish. Combine cherry spread and food coloring if desired; spread over batter. Top with remaining batter.
3. In a small bowl, combine sugar and flour. Cut in butter until crumbly; add walnuts. Sprinkle over top. Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Yield: 6-8 servings.
