Wow, this was wonderful. We don't have cherry pie filling here, so I used a tin of cherries & added the syrup to the cake instead of water. This was so easy to make & the result was a lovely moist cake with a subtle cherry taste. I made it for a celebration at work & everyone has asked for the recipe. Thanks WiGal for sharing this keeper.
