Back In German, the word "blitz" refers to lightning, suggesting the speed with which this cake is put together. You could use just about any filling in this cake.
3 Cups All-Purpose Flour
1/4 teas. Salt
1/2 teas. Baking Soda
2 1/2 teas. Watkins Baking Powder
1 Cup Watkins Original Grapeseed Oil
2 Cups Sugar
4 Eggs
2 teas. Watkins Vanilla Extract
2 Drops Watkins Almond and / or Lemon Extract
1 Cup Orange Juice
1 19 Ounce Can Cherry Pie Filling
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 10-inch springform pan, a 9-by-13 inch pan or two 9-by-5 inch loaf pans. In a medium-sized bowl, using a large whisk, blend together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the center and blend in the oil, sugar, eggs, vanilla, almond extract, and orange juice. Stir to make a smooth batter. In prepared pan, put in three-quarters of the batter, then cherry filling, then half of remaining batter. Top batter can be dropped in dollops - it will be uneven, but that does not matter. Bake until cake(s) test done, 55-60 minutes (depending on pan used). Cake will be set on top when baked.
Variations:
Use 1 can blueberry pie or apple pie filling to replace cherries.
