The cake was a bit dry, but the flavors were good. I think I overcooked it a bit. Next time I will be more careful with the baking time.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. The cake was moist and fluffy, and the cherries and pecans were a nice addition. I would recommend using less sugar next time.
