How to Make Vanilla Butternut Pound Cake With Maraschino Cherries

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. In a small bowl, mash the cooked butternut squash until smooth. Stir into the batter.
  7. Fold in the maraschino cherries.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Dust with powdered sugar before serving (optional).
