Cherry Glazed Sponge Cake
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.
