Hi Sue...the cake is like a coffee / pound cake. It has cream cheese, lots of butter, marachino cherries, and nuts. With all that, it can't be bad :joyful:

Awww...Yoyo is honored :cat:
Just want you to know as I just ate the cake...... the cake is not a fluffy light cake, it is a heavy moist cake - I guess from all the butter and cream cheese that's in it. It's different and I'm being honest - you may not like it so maybe try it before Christmas as I don't want you to be disappointed.

Sonia & @Ti-Mousse .....I just figured out why the cake didn't taste like it used to....I put in double the amount of butter. I don't know how that happened but I just looked it up on the internet and the recipe calls for 1 cup of butter where I used 2 cups of butter. That is why my cake was overly moist and heavy. The vanilla extract and flour amounts are different also. I am going to try this recipe for Christmas and see how it comes out.
I am sorry for the confusion but I'd rather you have the CORRECT recipe which follows below:

Ingredients
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1-1/2 cups sugar
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 4 eggs
  • 2-1/4 cups cake flour
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 jar (8 ounces) maraschino cherries, drained
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • GLAZE:
  • 1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • Birthday candles, optional

Directions
  • In a bowl, beat cream cheese, butter, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine flour and baking powder; gradually add 2 cups to batter. Set aside five to six cherries for garnish. Chop the remaining cherries; add to remaining flour mixture with pecans. Fold into batter.
  • Pour into a greased and floured 10-in. fluted tube pan. Bake at 325° for 1 hour and 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes; remove from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • For glaze, combine sugar and milk in a small bowl; stir until smooth. Drizzle over cake. Decorate with reserved cherries and candles if desired.
Editor's Note: Green maraschino cherries may also be used for garnish.
