1 cup unsalted butter -- room temperature

3/4 cup sugar

Preheat oven to 3 75 ° E Lightly butter 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 3/4-inch metal loaf

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in each of 2 large skillets over medium-high heat. Add

6 cake slices to each skillet and cook until

golden, about 1 minute per side.

 

Cherries: Combine all ingredients in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat.

Stir until sugar melts. Cook until cherries soften,

stirring occasionally, about 6 minutes. Serve warm.

 

Place 1 cake slice on each of 12 plates. Top each slice with warm cherries and a

scoop of ice cream and serve.
