Who doesn't like great desserts? Whether you want to finish off the meal with something special, need to take a dessert to some occasion, or just want a good dessert to enjoy with coffee, turn to cherries. They are not only tasty and suitable to various style desserts, they make very pretty desserts. The recipes in this article are for some tasty cherry treats. Cherry casserole cake is made in a two-quart casserole dish and there is no frosting needed. The Easy Cherry Squares I added to my old fashion recipe collection many years ago from a friend from Kansas. When were in the military, we met and shared recipes with friends from many different parts of the country. It is fun to go back approximately fifty years later and enjoy those recipes. They always bring back happy memories of military days.
CHERRY CASSEROLE CAKE
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 cup cooking oil
1 can (1 lb 5-oz)cherry pie filling
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 cup cooking oil
1 can (1 lb 5-oz)cherry pie filling
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 2-quart casserole dish.
Stir together dry ingredients. Blend eggs, milk, 1/2 teaspoon almond extract, and oil. Add the liquid, all at once, to the flour mixture, stirring only until the flour is moistened.
Spread 1 cup of the cherry pie filling over the bottom of the greased dish. Pour the batter over the pie filling. Bake in the 350 degree preheated oven. Bake 45 to 55 minutes or until done with toothpick test.
Cool 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving platter. Combine the remaining cherry pie filling and half teaspoon almond extract. Heat and serve over cake.
EASY CHERRY SQUARES
This recipe is from 1950s Iowa.
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup butter
4 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 can cherry pie filling (or your choice)
1 cup butter
4 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 can cherry pie filling (or your choice)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously grease a 16 x 20-inch jelly roll pan and set aside.
In a large mixer bowl, gradually add the sugar to the butter creaming at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well at low speed after each addition. Add the flour and lemon juice and mix until well combined. Pour the mixture evenly onto the prepared jelly roll pan. Mark off 15 servings by making three across and five down. Place a heaping tablespoon of the pie filling in the center of each of the 15 sections. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes until lightly browned. Remove from the oven and sprinkle powdered sugar over all.
Enjoy!
