Wow, wow, wow! This cake was absolutely delicious! I made a nice frosting for the cake and used food colouring to make it pink for Valentine's day. I accidentally forgot to add the extract, however it was wonderful all the same. Perhaps next time I will add more cherry filling as it was a bit too subtle. I highly recommend that you all make this cake, it was moist and wonderful!

I made this cake without the frosting because I was short on time so I used pre-packaged chocolate frosting. This cake is a great alternative to just a regular chocolate cake. The cherries add a nice texture and make this cake very moist and the almond extract is necessary- I added a 1/2 tsp. extra, in fact. Rave reviews from the DH. I made 2 8-inch round cakes and made a beautiful layered cake and served it after our Valentine's dinner. Will make this again for another special occasion!

I made this for a Church fellowship and nearly all was eaten; with mostly good reviews. I added 1 cup of chocolate chips to the batter. Like others it wasn't very 'cherry tasting'and was definitely better the 2nd day. Don't really know what you could add to improve flavor. I did put a maraschino cherry on each cake square and I baked mine in a 10X15 jelly roll pan. Good but not Great.

Pretty good. A twist on the basic chocolate bundt cake. It didn't have enough cherry flacor for me personally, though, but was an overall decent cake.

I wasn SOOOOO not impressed with this cake. It looked beautiful, but that was about the most exciting part of it. I thought that the actual cake part was very bland. It was not bad tasting, just not great. The texture was very moist. The frosting was very good and had good chocolate flavor. It kind of saved the cake. Without that it would have just taseted like bread with the occasional bite of cherry. Sorry but I will not be making this again. If I am going to spend the calories I want to enjoy every bite.

This is a fantastic recipe! & if you omit the frosting, it is very low in fat! The cake is moist & it tastes just like a chocolate covered cherry! I was not particularly thrilled with the frosting. I made a bundt cake & it was too thick to drizzle. In the future, I will use a chocolate glaze instead. It is also very good with just whip cream so you could omit the frosting & use fat free cool whip & you would have an awesome lowfat treat! Thanks for this yummy recipe, it will go into my files!

This cake was perfect for my daughter's birthday topped with a few chocolate covered cherries. Moist and yummy. It helps to break up the dry mix with a fork before stirring in the other ingredients.

Turned out perfectly the first time. I made it in a Bundt pan, so the frosting did some puddling up in the middle, but that's the good part to scrape up! I took it to my church and everyone raved!

This cake was so good. It was one of three at a party and it was the only one that completely disappeared. The frosting is rich and smooth with a great chocolate taste. I did use milk chocolate chips however as I am not a dark chocolate person that much.

I'm sorry, I didn't think this cake was really anything special. I really didn't like the frosting. I think it made it WAY too rich. I think maybe a light dusting of powdered sugar would have been enough. I don't think I'd make this one again.

This is one fantastic dessert. I first had it in 1984 and crave it still. The frosting really adds the finishing touch.

This was fantastic. I put half a cup of chocolate chips into the cake batter and topped the cake with chips as well. I didn't use the icing but had whipped cream instead. This cake was so moist and just perfect.
