 Categories: Desserts
      Yield: 16 Servings
 
      1 c  Butter or margarine
  1 1/2 c  Granulated sugar
      4    Eggs
      1 ts Almond extract
      2 c  All-purpose flour
      2 ts Baking powder
      1 cn (21oz) Cherry pie filling
           Powdered sugar to dust over
           Top, optional
 
  In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Add the
  almond extract. Stir in the flour and baking powder. Mix until
  smooth. Butter a 13x9-inch cake pan. Turn the mixture into the pan.
  Spoon the pie filling into the cake, in 16 spots, spacing 4 spoonfuls
  evenly in each direction. Bake at 350F for 45 to 50 minutes or until
  golden and cake tests done. Filling will sink into the cake while
  baking. To serve, cut into 16 pieces. Place bottom side up on serving
  plate. Dust with powdered sugar, if used. Spoon slightly sweetened
  whipped cream over each serving, if desired. This is great served
  warm!
  
  Note: For blueberry dessert, substitute blueberry pie filling for the
      cherry filling.
