Preparation

Step 1

In a food processor, combine cake and all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Add butter, egg and milk; pulse until dough starts to come together. Empty dough onto a lightly floured board and knead lightly, folding in dried cherries at the same time.

Gently form dough into a smooth 10-inch circle about 1 inch thick. With a large knife, cut dough into 12 pie shaped wedges. Brush each lightly with cream and dust with sugar.

Place on lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake in a preheated 375-degree oven about 20 minutes, or until lightly browned. Serve warm.
