Number Of Ingredients 18

3 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 can (12.5 oz) almond pastry filling
1 1/2 cups fresh cranberries
1 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup dried cherries, halved
2 teaspoons cornstarch
3/4 cup orange juice
1 cup whipping cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

This is a great recipe for a classic pound cake. The sauce is a nice addition, but it's not necessary. The cake is delicious on its own.
