1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup oil
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 drops almond and/or lemon extract
1 cup orange juice
1 19-ounce can cherry pie filling

Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly grease a 10-inch spring-form pan, a 9-by-13 inch pan or two 9-by-5 inch loaf pans.

In a medium-sized bowl, using a large whisk, blend together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the center and blend in the oil, sugar, eggs, vanilla, almond extract, and orange juice. Stir to make a smooth batter.

In prepared pan, put in three-quarters of the batter, then cherry filling, then half of remaining batter. Top batter can be dropped in dollops - it will be uneven, but that does not matter.

Bake until cake(s) test done, 55-60 minutes (depending on pan used). Cake will be set on top when baked.

Use 1 can blueberry pie or apple pie filling to replace cherries.

UKRAINIAN CHERESHNYANYK CHERRY BARS
Any fresh fruit may be used with this pastry base. For quick and sure results use a canned cherry pie filling.

2 cups sifted flour
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup butter
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind
1 cup light cream
Cherries, sugared
Flour

Sift the flour with the dry ingredients. Cut in the butter. Combine the lemon juice, rind, and cream; add to the flour mixture. Mix lightly. This dough should be soft.

Spoon it into a buttered 9x14 inch cake pan and pat gently, elevating the sides to hold the filling.

Fill with sugared cherries or a can of cherry pie filling and bake in a moderate oven (375 degrees F.) for 35 minutes, or until done.

Cool and cut into squares. When using very juicy fruit, add a little flour to it to prevent the juice from running out.
