2 cups all-purpose flour
1 (15 ounce) can sliced Swiss cheese
3 eggs, beaten
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 cups white sugar
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 (12 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 cup sliced almonds
2 cups sliced strawberries
1 (16 ounce) can sliced vanilla wafers
1 cup sliced cherries
1 cup sliced fresh strawberries
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9 inch square pan.
In a large bowl, mix the flour, Swiss cheese, eggs, baking powder, sugar, butter, vanilla and lemon zest. Mix well and pour mixture into the prepared pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool completely.
In a small bowl, beat cream cheese, lemon juice, and whipped topping until smooth and creamy. Beat in the cherries and strawberries. Spread over the cooled cake. Chill in refrigerator or overnight before serving.
