Woah - this cake is GOOD. I normally don't do box cakes but I had some sherry to use up and thought I'd give it a shot. This was fantastic! I was short an egg, so I put a little extra sherry and a splash of milk. I lost my bundt pan so I put it in a springform pan. It turned out fantastic.

Followed recipe almost exactly, only omitting half the nutmeg and adding 3/4 cup chopped pecans. The cake was good. Though I enjoyed the sugar/cinnamon/cocoa topping, I would have preferred a glaze.

AMAZING!!! I made it for my mom's birthday party and it was a HUGE HIT! The only change I made was subbing out half of the oil for applesauce. DELICIOUS!! Thank you so much for sharing!!!

didn't use the cinnamon sugar mix. Wonderful as a plane sherry bundt cake. Sprinkled some confectioners sugar on top,

I made this exactly by the recipe. It was only ok. It was very moist, but we thought it had a bit of a sour aftertaste. I will not make it again.

I was given this same recipe years ago by a lady I worked with in Old Town, Albuquerque, NM but she added a glaze which was 1 cup powder sugar, 1TBL spoon milk, and 1tsp butter flavoring, then drizzle on top. Very good!

The Sherry cake was moist and yummy. It is very easy to make quickly. I glazed it with an orange juice, vanilla and confectioner sugar icing because I didn't have the chocolate. I'll make it again soon.

I'm sorry but this was moist, but the flavor was terrible. I made my mother try it just to make sure it wasn't just me. Followed the recipe exactly.

This is a good recipe for sherry cake. It was moist, but I found the cocoa/cinnamon/sugar mixture to add a very different flavor. I did not prefer it--I prefer the classic style.
