Wonderful recipe! I divided it into a 3-layer cake, frosted it with a cream cheese frosting, and sprinkled some mashed up cinnamon graham crackers on top. It was an absolute smash! I did only bake it for about 25 minutes, though. Not sure where the 60-65 minutes comes from. Would have burned it if I'd cooked it that long.

While this cake was just marvelous, I would recommend a few changes. I used 4 eggs instead of 3, and whole milk instead of buttermilk. Other than that I followed the recipe exactly and it came out wonderful. Iced it with a chocolate frosting. People pounced on it, it didn't even last half a day!

Fabulous! I took this cake to work with me and everybody ate it right up. I even caught a few people scraping the plate to get the leftover crumbs. A few people told me it was the best cake they'd ever had, and they didn't even like cherries! I didn't add the liqueur, but other than that I followed the recipe exactly and used Cool Whip for the frosting.
