Dried Cherry Cake

Wonderful! Soaked cherries with 1T Hennessy. Used two whole eggs, and walnuts. Added to the recipe book!

Didn't have veg oil, used evoo store brand, and used 2 (3.4oz ea)probiotic dailies instead of 8oz yogurt used 2 whole eggs. Came out very good!

This recipe was amazing! However, I adjusted a few things: 1) 2 whole eggs 2) sliced almonds instead of pecans 3) glaze on top (next time I'll omit the sugar) 4) sour cream + vanilla instead of yogurt. Next time I'll double the cherries. I'm grateful to those who suggested replacing the yogurt and pecans with sour cream and almonds! By the way, with cakes like this, it's always better to first beat the eggs and sugar until they are really light and fluffy. Then add the remaining wet ingredients and mix really well. Then add the flour and dry ingredients, and just mix enough to incorporate.

We enjoyed this delicious coffee cake, which is a little different from the usual coffee cake I make because of the lack of cinnamon, which makes a nice change of pace from our usual coffee cake. It had wonderful flavor and texture and has the ideal amount of sweetness. If you’re looking for a perfect accompaniment to your morning cup of coffee, I highly recommend this recipe.

This was actually much better than I anticipated. It took longer to cook than suggested but other than that the recipe was good. It's a tender moist cake that's not overly sweet and the cherries were not chewy but soft like fresh. Overall this is a tasty cake.

7.3.20 Followed the recipe to the letter with the exception of cutting back a little on the sugar (personal taste preference). This was extremely easy to make and turned out pretty well. I baked it in a 9” springform pan and was just a little disappointed that it didn’t rise more. If I were to make this again, I’d bake in an 8” springform pan and then be prepared to cook longer. It is plenty moist and tender, the cherries give you a nice pop of sweetness, and they were distributed evenly throughout the cake.
