Reviews
I have made this cake at least a dozen times over the past 5 years. Absolutely delicious! I leave out the nuts. I have found that it is best to make the cake 1 or 2 days before you want to eat it.
This cake was delicious with a beautiful presentation. I served it with a spoonful of whipped cream.
Wonderful, moist cake. Everyone keeps talking about how delicious it was. A definate keeper!!
The chocolate overpowered the cherry flavor a little more than I would have liked, but overall a good cake!
