Ingredients

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/3 cup packed brown sugar
-
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine

-
2 eggs
-
1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar
-
1 tablespoon flour
-
1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 pinch salt

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

1/2 cup candied cherries or 1/2 cup maraschino cherry (at least)

Instructions
- FIRST LAYER: Crumble ingredients together well.
- Press into ungreased 9 x 9 inch pan.
- Bake in preheated 350F oven for 15 minutes.
- SECOND LAYER: Beat eggs slightly; add remaining ingredients in the order listed.
- If using maraschino cherries, drain well.
- I prefer using candied cherries- at Christmas, I use a mixture of red& green.
- Spread over first layer& return to oven for 25 minutes.
- Let cool completely.
- TOP LAYER: Beat ingredients in a small bowl, adding more water if necessary to make a more spreadable mixture.
- This makes a minimum amount of icing to spread over top.
