Rolled Cherry Upside Down Cake
- 14 cup butter
- 1 12 cups sugar
- 3 cups cherries, pitted (fresh is best, but canned is fine)
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 4 eggs, separated
- 34 cup sugar
- 34 cup cake flour, sifted
- 12 teaspoon vanilla
- 18 teaspoon salt
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Melt butter in a oblong shallow cake pan; add half the sugar and cover with cherries mixed with the remaining sugar and flour.
- Set in oven to heat while preparing cake batter.
- Beat egg whites stiffly and carefully fold in sugar and flour, which have been well mixed.
- Add vanilla and salt; fold in egg yolks which have been beaten until light and lemon colored.
- Spread cake batter over hot cherries and bake for 30 minutes or until cake springs back when gently pressed with fingertips.
- Let cool one minute; turn out, upside down, on a waxed paper dusted with confectioners' sugar.
- Roll up at once like a jelly roll.
- Cool until just warm, slice and serve with a creamy custard sauce or whipped cream.
- This dessert does not improve with standing.
