Lacy Valentine Cake

Ingredients:

Dough

5 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup sugar

2 envelopes Fleischmann's RapidRise Yeast

1 1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup each of water, milk, and butter or margarine

2 large eggs

1 tablespoon melted butter

Cherry-Almond Filling

1/2 cup chopped maraschino cherries, well drained

1/2 cup chopped slivered almonds, toasted

1/4 cup sugar

Almond Glaze

1 1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted

2 1/2 tablespoons milk

1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Directions:

In a large bowl, combine 1-2/3 cups flour, sugar, undissolved yeast, and salt. Heat

water, milk, and 1/2 cup butter until very warm (120-130 degrees F).

Gradually add to flour mixture. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer,

scraping bowl occasionally. Add eggs and 1 cup flour; beat 2 minutes at high speed.

Stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Knead on lightly floured

surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes.

Divide dough in half; roll each to 24-x7-inch rectangle. Brush each with melted

butter to within 1/2-inch of edges.
