I don't eat many cakes, but if you love chocolate and you love cherries...you will love this cake as much as I do! As usual, I try to keep it as low fat as possible. I based this on a recipe that I found many years ago in a church cookbook from somewhere in Wisconsin. I tweaked it a bit and found what works for me and my family.
