Instructions: Cream sugar, shortening and butter; add eggs, one at a time. Add flour, baking powder, salt, and cherry flavoring alternately with milk. Beat until creamy. Stir in cherries. Bake in greased tube pan at 325 degrees for 1 hour and then increase heat to 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

NOTES : Cherry flavoring has been hard to find. I substitute juice from the marachino cherries. I also add one tablespoon of vanilla to the recipe.
