1 c. cooking oil
1 c. sugar
4 eggs
2 c. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
Pinch of salt
1/2 tsp. vanilla

Beat oil and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating all the while. Add flour, baking powder and salt which have been sifted together and beat well. Mix in the vanilla. Pour 1/2 the mixture into a well-greased and floured pan (8 x 12 inch does nicely). Sprinkle 1/2 of the topping on.

TOPPING:

1/2 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Mix together.

Spoon 1/2 can cherry pie filling over the topping. Pour the remaining batter on above. This time put the remaining cherry filling on next, and sprinkle remaining sugar/cinnamon mix on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes or until knife comes out clean.
