Recipe - Cherry Pound Cake

3 cup Sugar
One half cup Shortening
1 cup Butter
5 Eggs
3 cup Allpurpose flour
One half teaspoon Baking powder
One fourth teaspoon Salt
2 teaspoon Cherry flavoring
1 cup Milk
One half cup Cherries in juice; chopped

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.
