Tips:

- If you don't have fresh cherries, you can use frozen or canned cherries. Just be sure to thaw and drain them before using.
- Chop the nuts into small pieces so that they are evenly distributed throughout the cake.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it.
- For a richer flavor, use a cream cheese frosting.
- For a lighter flavor, use a whipped cream frosting.
