Cherry Squares

These are very simple little cakes that my mom made that everyone seemed to love. They look difficult but are really easy to make.

CHERRY SQUARES
  • 1 and 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup margarine
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups sifted all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 can cherry pie filling (my mom always used cherry but you can use other flavors)
  • Powdered sugar sifted

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl cream sugar and margarine together. Add eggs, flour and vanilla extract. beat well; spread batter evenly into greased jelly-roll pan. With a knife mark batter into 20-24 squares and place one tablespoon of pie filling in the center of each square. Bake in the oven for 40 minutes (watch them)! Remove from oven and cool and sprinkle with the powdered sugar. The cherry filling absorb the sugar and they will look beautiful. Cut into squares.
