1 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
2 1/4 cups sifted flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 cup sour cream
1 can cherry pie filling*
1 cup powdered sugar
Milk (enough to make icing)

Cream shortening and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla and blend well.

Combine dry ingredients and add to creamed mixture, alternately with sour cream. Mix until all dry ingredients are blended. Reserve 1 cup batter.
