INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup candied cherries, halved
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  2. Cream the cream cheese, butter or margarine, sugar, and vanilla together until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time. Sift together 2 1/4 cup flour, baking powder, and salt; fold into cream cheese mixture. Dredge cherries in 1/4 cup flour, and fold into batter.
  3. Sprinkle pecans over the bottom of an ungreased 10 inch angel food tube pan. Bottom should be completely covered. Add a few more pecans if necessary. Spoon batter into pan on top of nuts.
