rose mary's maraschino pound cake
(3 ratings)
This is another dessert item that was featured at a Community gathering. The cake was very well received, and every one loved it. You will need to use at least a 12 cup bundt pan to bake this one. I just added additional cherry halves & shredded coconut to the top to add a little color. It is hard to resist this dessert, but I did manage to let every one else enjoy as I watched. The cherry Liqueur added an in depth cherry flavor to the batter. I know you will love this cake. I made this one using my 16 cup cake pan, and I used 4 cups of flour to create a large cake. Butter also adds flavor.
