Preparation

Step 1

Cream together the butter and sugar well. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition until light and fluffy. Blend in the vanilla and lemon extracts.

Sift together the cake flour and baking powder. Fold dry ingredients into the creamed mixture alternately with the evaporated milk beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.

Fold in the chopped cherries and chocolate chips.

Bake in greased and floured mini loaf pans or in paper lined muffin tins. Bake at 325 degrees F for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Muffin sized cakes will take only about 15 to 20 minutes. Watch them carefully so they don't over bake.
