This cake is absolutely delicious! I took the advice of making the cherry filling before making the cake part, and it had plenty time to cool down. I followed the recipe as is, and was very happy with the results – as was everyone else who ate it! I would suggest that if possible, try making this cake 1 day before you plan on serving it – there’s no comparison on how much better it tastes. At minimum, try to make it the morning of the day you want to serve it. Great!!
