Cherry Chocolate Chip Crinkle Cakes


Cream together

3/4 cups butter
1 cup sugar

Add, one at a time, beating well after each addition until light and fluffy:

2 eggs

Blend in:

1 tsp vanilla extract
3 tsp pure lemon extract

Sift together

1 ½ cups cake flour (or pastry flour)
1 ½ tsp baking powder

Fold dry ingredients into the creamed mixture alternately with

½ cup warm, undiluted evaporated milk

beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.

Fold in:
3/4 cup chopped candied (glace) cherries (or dried cherries)
2/3 cup chocolate chips


Bake in greased and floured mini loaf pans or in paper lined muffin tins. Bake at 325 degrees F for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Muffin sized cakes will take only about 15 to 20 minutes. Watch them carefully so they don't overbake.

Something to Think about....


Help Others - Dalai Lama





THE SERENITY PRAYER

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY
TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE;
COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS I CAN;
AND WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

LIVING ONE DAY AT A TIME;
ENJOYING ONE MOMENT AT A TIME;
ACCEPTING HARDSHIPS AS THE PATHWAY TO PEACE;
TAKING, AS HE DID, THIS SINFUL WORLD
AS IT IS, NOT AS I WOULD HAVE IT;
TRUSTING THAT HE WILL MAKE ALL THINGS RIGHT
IF I SURRENDER TO HIS WILL;
THAT I MAY BE REASONABLY HAPPY IN THIS LIFE
AND SUPREMELY HAPPY WITH HIM
FOREVER IN THE NEXT.
AMEN.
