Adelaide Cake

Ingredients

• 1 cupful Butter
• 1 1/2 cupfuls Granulated Sugar
• 4 Eggs
• 1 pint All-Purpose Flour
• 1 teaspoonful Baking Powder
• 1 cupful Dried, Stoned Cherries
• 1/2 cupful Heavy Cream
• 1 teaspoonful Vanilla Extract

Instructions

1. 1In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This may take several minutes.
2. 2Add the eggs, two at a time, beating for 5 minutes after each addition until fully incorporated.
3. 3In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder.
4. 4Add the sifted flour mixture, cherries, cream, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Mix gently until just combined.
5. 5Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the batter into a paper-lined cake tin. Bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the cake is browning too quickly, protect it with a piece of paper.
