1 (10 oz.) jar maraschino cherries
1/2 c. brown sugar
1 c. ground nuts
1 tsp. cinnamon
4 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 lb. soft butter
1 tsp. vanilla
2 c. sugar
1 pt. sour cream
6 eggs

Drain cherries and set aside. Mix together and set aside brown sugar, nuts and cinnamon. Stir together and set aside flour, salt and other dry ingredients.

Cream butter, vanilla and white sugar thoroughly. Add sour cream. Beat until blended. Add flour mix alternately with eggs, beginning and ending with flour. Beat well.

Grease and flour a 9-inch tube pan (high sided, as with an angel food cake pan). Pour 1/3 of batter into pan. Top with 1/3 cherries and 1/3 nut mix. Repeat 2 more times. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until done.
