This recipe is a waste of time and ingredients. The cake was dense and dry, and the frosting was too sweet.

I've tried other Italian cream cake recipes before, but this one is by far the best. The cake is moist and fluffy, and the frosting is perfectly creamy and sweet.

I was a little hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of maraschino cherries, but I'm glad I did. The cherries added a nice touch of sweetness and tartness to the cake.
