This recipe is as delicious as it looks. I frozen some of my sour cherries while they were in season to use for this, but you can buy them already pitted at your local grocery store. Absolutely wonderful!

Grease and flour a 9x13 cake pan

Beat sugar and butter until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.

8

To make cheese layer whip all ingredients except the flour until smooth. next, add the flour and mix until blended.

Place on center rack in oven and bake 35-45 minutes. You'll know it's done when the house fills with the smell of this cake. Insert a skewer to test. When it comes out clean it's fully baked.
