My German friends 3rd generation hand me down recipe... It's been a great hit at potluck & dinner party's. Note: The sugar/cinnamon sprinkle added to the prep of the bundt pan adds a wonderful crunchy texture to the outside of the cake.

- 10 oz. jar maraschino cherries - drained well & cut in half. shopping list
- 2 cups walnut halves or pecans shopping list
How to make it
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

- In a separate bowl mix flour, baking powder & salt together then add these dry ingredients slowly into the wet ingredients.
- Mix at med/low speed about three minutes or long enough to blend together well.
- Remove the mixer bowl and by hand stir in the cherries and nuts.
