Description

My favorite Valentine breakfast. A sheet of sponge cake with dollops of cherry pie filling in each serving. Perfect for brunch, or anytime.

Ingredients

1 cup margarine
1 1/2 cups white sugar
4 eggs
1 teaspoon almond extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar for dusting

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10x15 inch jellyroll pan.
2 In a large bowl, cream together the margarine and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, then stir in almond extract. Fold in flour until just blended. Spread batter into prepared pan. With the tip of a knife, mark squares in the batter. Spoon equal portions of pie filling in the center of each square.
3 Bake in preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool, then dust with confectioners' sugar.
