I love this cake. Easy and impressive. I use real whipped cream for the top. Keeps well in the fridge. I also do not spoon all the extra goo on the cake; just the cherries and a little goo. Hope this helps!

I've been making this cake since it first came out in Quick Cooking in 1998. My family love it! It's taste good, it's quick to make, plus it starts with a cake mix. It is the recipe I go to for a quick dessert to take someplace!
