| Son has requested I make something in bundt cake form. Usually, I make quick breads this way and slice off a reasonable piece for his post-fruit, milk, and yogurt breakfast. He's been having coffee cake, blueberry muffins... but this time, he wants it to be cherry. I have no recipes or even an idea of what it might be. Suggestions are most welcome! Thanks!

| I would put dried cherries instead of raisins in a recipe for a raisin bread. The one linked below sounds good and fairly healthy. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Oatmeal raisin bread.

| How bout a sort of Black Forest bundt cake. Chocolate cake with a layer of cherry filling in the middle. Chocolate sauce drizzled on top with cherries to decorate the top (You can leave out the liquor if so desired). What could be better then chocolate for breakfast?! NancyLouise |

| Love both ideas! Sound great. :) I also saw a lemon-dried cherry quick bread that looked dang tasty, but no reviews and I didn't get down to brass tacks on the ingredients. The other thought I have involves almonds. Almonds and cherry are my favorite combination. |

| Here's what I'd do, I'd make a bundt cake recipe with a struesel swirl and add chopped maraschino cherries to the cake batter. Not too many!, their flavor is overpowering. I sub chopped maraschinos in AnnT's coconut blueberry muffins instead of blueberries, and it's like ambrosia in a muffin! |

| I have been making this recipe regularly since seeing it this past winter. I think it would easily adapt to a bundt pan. I use canned tart cherries that are very well drained and patted dry. I use light sour cream or Greek yogurt. Penzeys Cherry Muffins
2 3/4 Cups flour Preheat oven to 400�. Grease and flour muffin tin cups or line with paper muffin cups. Combine flour, soda and salt in a bowl and mix well. In a separate mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in the eggs, ALMOND and VANILLA EXTRACTS, sour cream and dry ingredients. Mix until just moistened (overmixing will make the muffins tough). Fold in the cherries. Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full with batter. Bake at 400� for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean and the tops are lightly browned. Note: Sour cherries can usually be found frozen, canned or dried. If frozen or canned, drain off any juice before using. If dried, chop into smaller pieces and they taste great as well! Prep. time: 15 minutes Nutritional Information: |

| Well first, the important question, which is "sweet cherries or sour cherries". (grin) I have this recipe which calls for maraschino cherries, but I've subbed home canned brandied sweet cherries and that worked well, so I think any kind of canned or frozen cherry would be OK. Cherry Bundt Cake 1 1/2 cups sugar Glaze 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar Preheat the oven to 325. Combine sugar, cream cheese, butter and vanilla and mix till well blended. Toss remaining 1/4 cup of flour with cherries and chopped nuts and fold into the batter. Pour batter into a greased and floured 10 inch bundt cake pan. Bake 1 hr and 20 minute to 1 1/2 hours or until cake tests clean with a cake tester or toothpick. Cool on wire rack for 5 minute then remove from pan. Cool thoroughly. Combine icing ingredients, mix well and drizzle over the cake. Garnish with additional cherries and nuts if you wish. Annie |
