List of Ingredients




1 1/2 cups shortening
6 eggs
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon butternut flavored extract
3 cups white sugar
3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup milk

3 ounces cream cheese
1/4 cup butter, softened
2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup maraschino cherries, chopped
1/2 cup flaked coconut (optional)

Recipe



In a large bowl, cream the shortening and the white sugar together until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time to the creamed mixture, beating well after each addition. Add the flavoring.

In another bowl, combine flour and baking powder together. Add these dry ingredients alternating with the milk to the creamed mixture. Stir 3/4 cup chopped cherries into the batter.
