Cherry Pastry

I got this recipe years ago from a lady at work. I haven't made it in many years, but I noted the recipe card that this is very good. It is a very simple dessert that you can even serve as a breakfast cake. You can also make this with an apple or blueberry pie filling. For that matter, you could even use lemon pie filling.

1 cup butter, softened
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
4 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1 can cherry pie filling, or any desired flavor

Glaze
4 tbsp butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
2-4 tbsp milk or water
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Mix together until smooth.


Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until well mixed. Add the flour and baking powder, and beat just until combined. Spread half of the batter in a greased 9 x 13" pan. Spoon pie filling over on top. Drop remaining batter by spoonfuls and spread gently. You do not have to completely cover the pie filling. Bake 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Drizzle with glaze while warm (you may not need to use all of the glaze).
