1 ½ cups shortening
6 eggs
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon butternut flavored extract
3 cups white sugar
3 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

Tips:

  • Use unsalted butter and bring it to room temperature before creaming it with the sugar. This will help to ensure that the cake is light and fluffy.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until they are light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, which will also make the cake light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the cake from curdling.
  • Gradually add the flour to the batter, mixing until just combined. Over-mixing the batter will make the cake tough.
  • Stir in the maraschino cherries and nuts, if desired. Be gentle so that you don't break up the cherries.
  • Pour the batter into a greased and floured 9x13 inch baking pan. Bake the cake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.

Conclusion:

This maraschino pound cake is a delicious and classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and fluffy, with a sweet and tangy flavor from the maraschino cherries. The frosting is rich and creamy, and it perfectly complements the cake. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
