Very nice, simple to make, moist cake. I think it is much prettier in a bundt pan; however, if you do put it in a bundt pan, bake for approximately 50 minutes. This cake cuts beautifully even if it is warm! I made this cake for a friend who had left shoulder surgery and her husband who had broken his left shoulder! I figured something chocolate would hit the spot, and I think this one did! I just dripped the icing and only used half of that called for. Also, I used reduced sugar cherry pie filling.

Very easy cake to make, I did not make the frosting as its for my son to take to work tomorrow. I did only get to taste a very small slice, but I thought it was a great tasting moist cake. I think you could use use this recipe as a base for a great tasting black cherry Gateau.

I have made this cake for over 7 years now with almost exact ingredients (3 eggs instead of 2). It has been an all-star favorite at EVERY potluck or dinner I have taken it to. Everybody asks for the recipe! The cherries are to make the cake moist, not to totally flavor it...it's a subtle taste. You can also find the recipe in the original Cake Doctor cookbook.

This is the perfect solution to something more than chocolate from a box and is fast & EASY! The chocolate glaze reminds me of a Texas sheet cake& the cherries make for a very moist cake!! Definitely worth keeping ingredients stocked in pantry for the times I need a "nice" dessert & fast!

Awesome cake, very moist. I also used vanilla because we did not have almond and turned out great!

Even though I normally make cakes from scratch, I tripled the ingredients for 50 servings for a church dinner, and people were begging for the recipe. I have to admit, it was delicious! Very easy to make even when tripling the recipe.
