I'm allergic to cherries, so I had to substitute another fruit. I used blueberries, and they worked great!

This cake is a lot of work for the amount of flavor you get. I don't think it's worth the effort.

The cake didn't turn out as moist as I expected. I think I overbaked it.

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to use fresh cherries instead of canned. I think it would make the cake even more delicious.

I'm not a big fan of cherries, but I loved this cake. The chocolate flavor really shines through.

I was a bit skeptical about the combination of cherries and chocolate, but I was pleasantly surprised. The two flavors go together perfectly.

This cherry cake is a delightful treat! The cake is moist and fluffy, and the cherries add a burst of sweetness and tartness. The sauce is the perfect finishing touch, and it really takes the cake to the next level.
