Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 cups flour
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1-1/2 cups eggnog
  • 1/4 cup dark rum, kirsch, or other brandy
  • 1 cup dark canned cherries

Method

  • Cream butter, sugar and sour cream together on low speed, until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs. In a separate bowl sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, combine the eggnog and rum.
  • Alternate adding the flour mixture and the eggnog mixture to the butter and sugar mixture until well blended. Pour half of the batter into a greased and floured bundt pan. Spread cherries on top, avoiding the sides of the pan. Add the remaining half of the batter on top of the cherries.
  • Bake at 325°F for approximately 90 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and the sides pull away from the pan.
