Dutch Cherry Cake

Ingredients

1/4 cup melted shortening
No 2 can (20 ounces) sour red cherries, drained

Sift flour, add baking powder, salt, and 1/2 cup sugar, and sift three times. Beat egg yolks and combine with milk, melted shortening, and flavoring. Add liquids to flour all at once and beat smooth. Fold in cherries and the stiffly beaten egg whites, to which the remaining sugar has been added.
