I have made this cake many times for almost 25 years! This is incredibly moist with the perfect chocolate icing. When I'm asked to bring something for a large gathering, I often bring this, baked into bars. Bake in a 15x10" pan, about 20-30 minutes. It's easier to serve this way, and goes further too.

Best cake I ever made. I used a dark chocolate with pudding in cake mix. You must use receipe frosting as it makes the cake. Family loves it! A receipe to never forget.

This is a good and easy cake to make. It is light and fluffy and not really dense but still very good. I added cool whip in the middle and added cherry filling on the top, lots of cherries yummy!!

This cake was excellent! I substituted vanilla for the almond extract. It was a cinch to prepare and the icing was the perfect finishing touch. It was very moist and the frosting was not too rich and didn't get hard or crusty as some frostings do. I will definately be making this again. :)

The cake alone is worthy of many, many more stars. (I did add about 1/4 cup of oil to the batter). Rich, moist and a nice mild cherry flavor. Mmmm. The frosting, however, wasn't the greatest match for this wonderful cake. Too sweet and distracting. After making it again, you absolutely must use the SATINY CHOCOLATE GLAZE recipe instead. Mr. "I don't like cherries" has already requested a third round with this cake...

Mmmm. Very yummy. It was so moist and the cherry gave it just enough flavor. I sprinkled a little powder sugar over the top and it looked so elegant. My guests raved, and I couldn't keep my own hands off it.

Easy and awesome! The only change I made in the ingredients is I used 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract instead of 1 teaspoon. I made it in a bundt pan, drizzled the FANTASTIC frosting on it as if it were a glaze, and then placed eight maraschino cherries on top for decoration. Prepared this way I have a pretty cake that tastes WONDERFUL! I took it to a potluck and received rave reviews; I am definitely going to use this recipe over and over!

This cake is fabulous! It is so moist and not overly sweet. I made it two days ago, and it tastes even better now. I made it in my springform pan. It looked great. It can easily be decorated with fruit and whipped cream. I plan to make it again for an upcoming social event.:-)

My family loved this so much and my husbands co workers! 2 days after I made it I had to make 3 more for 3 different events everyone loves it and it goes the same day it's made. Plus I found it so simple to make. I used milk chocolate frosting to top it off and it was Divine!!!
