1 (6 oz.) bottle maraschino cherries
1 (20 oz.) can pineapple chunks, packed in juice
4 C. flour
1 tea. baking powder

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.

With electric mixer, blend butter and sugar. Add eggs. Ad liquid from cherries and pineapple, and reserve fruit.

In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cocoa and salt. Stir in raisins and nuts. Cut cherries and pineapple chunks in half and add to flour mixture. Add flour mixture to butter mixture and stir until well combined.

Pour batter into a prepared Bundt or tube pan. (A 13 x 9-in. baking pan, 2 regular bread pans or several smaller bread pans can be used instead.) Bake for 1 1/2 hr., or until a wooden pick inserted in cake comes out clean.

Serve with whipped cream, if desired.
