Ingredients:

  • 1 can (14-1/2 oz) pitted tart cherries
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • cake:
  • 1/4 cup shortening
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup fat-free milk
  • sauce:
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 5 to 8 drops food coloring, optional

Directions:

  1. Drain cherries, reserving liquid in a 1-cup measuring cup. Add enough water to measure 1 cup; set aside for sauce.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine the cherries, sugar and butter. Cook and stir over medium heat until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved. Pour into a 9-in. round baking pan coated with cooking spray.
  3. For cake, in a large bowl, cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg; mix well. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to the creamed mixture alternately with milk, beating well after each addition. Spread over cherry mixture.
  4. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate.
  5. For sauce, in a small saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch. Gradually add reserved cherry juice mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in food coloring if desired. Serve with warm cake. Yield: 8 servings.
