This will probably be a thick, dense type of cake - instead of a light and airy type. Sounds good though. Let us know how it turns out. Thanks

Cream shortening, margarine, and sugar; add eggs, one at a time. Mix well. Add extracts and cherries. Add milk and flour alternately. Place in cold oven and bake at300 for 1 an3/4 hours. Cool in pan 15 min.

Is it unusual for a cake recipe that calls for all purpose flour , to not call for baking soda or baking powder? I have come across 2 recipes for a Cherry Pound Cake..and both calls for plain flour...but no soda or powder.
