It’s perfect for weekend brunches, potlucks, or any occasion where you want to impress guests with a homemade touch.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400ðF (200ðC).
  2. In a 9-inch round baking pan, melt 1/4 cup of margarine over low heat or in the microwave.
  3. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of sugar evenly over the melted margarine in the pan.
  4. Arrange 2 cups of cherries in an even layer over the sugar.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups flour, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  6. Add 1 beaten egg, 1/2 cup milk, and 3 tablespoons of melted shortening to the dry ingredients.
  7. Mix until just combined; the batter will be thick.
  8. Gently spread the batter over the cherries in the pan, being careful not to dislodge the fruit.
  9. Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the cake cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
  11. Place a serving plate upside down over the pan, then carefully invert the pan to release the cake.
  12. Serve warm with the cherry glaze on top.
