Cherry Pound Cake - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup butter
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
4 eggs
2 cups flour
1/2 cup flour
1 cup cherries, drained
3 tablespoons baking powder
1/2 cup chopped nuts

Preparation

Grease and flour an 8 inch tube pan. Mix 1/4 cup of flour with the cherries.
Cream together the butter, sugar, cream cheese and vanilla. Add eggs, beating in one at a time. Beat well.
Sift together flour and baking powder. Gradually add to creamed mixture. Fold in cherries.
Sprinkle nuts in prepared pan. Spread batter over. Bake in a preheated 325*F oven for 1 hour and 20 minutes. Let Cool 5 minutes before removing from pan. I have also baked this in two loaf pans with great success! (A shorter baking time is needed of course in that case!).
