How to make cherry pudding cake:

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, milk and oil; pour into a greased shallow 3 qt. baking dish. In a bowl combine cherries, food coloring, extract and remaining sugar; spoon over batter. Bake at 375° for 40-45 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the cake portion comes out clean. Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream if desired. Yield: 10-12 servings. Kids love to watch this one bake because the cherries sink to the bottom and the cake part rises to the top.
