This old time passed down recipe was given to me by a dear friend. The cherries and walnuts in big bite size adds to the charm of this wonderful cake. The cinnamon sugar dusting adds a crunchy outside texture to this cake...Yum Yum!

Time 2h

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 lb margarine
4 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups flour
10 ounces maraschino cherries (drained, either cut in half or left whole)
2 cups walnuts (whole half pieces)
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (set aside for pan dusting)

Steps:

  • Cream together the two cups of sugar, vanilla, margarine, and eggs.
  • Add the sour cream and blend well.
  • Add the dry ingredients (except the set aside ingredients).
  • Blend together well.
  • Prepare a bundt pan by coating it well with shortening and dusting the pan with the 3 tbs sugar and the 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon.
  • Pour the cake batter into the pan and poke the walnuts and cherries evenly as possible down into the cake batter to distribute these two ingredients evenly.
  • Or you can take your chances by adding them to the batter before pouring the batter into the bundt pan.
  • Bake in a hot oven at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  • Enjoy!
