Cherry Cake Recipe

This is a recipe I got from one of my Grandmother's old recipe books.

Not sure what "lemon flavouring" is - I just use lemon juice. This recipe doesn't say what size of pan to use, but I use a large loaf pan. The batter will come up to the top, but it won't rise very much - the cake is like a pound cake.It is even more delicious when frozen and then thawed; the freezing does something wonderful to the texture.

I made a 1/2 recipe as I didn't have enough cherries. I substituted margarine and lactose-free milk.

I baked this at 350 degrees for an hour and twenty minutes. Delicious!

French Shoes I Should Have Bought

This is what happens when you tell yourself you don't really need more shoes and, besides, do you really have the room in your suitcase? You regret not buying really nice shoes!!!
