I made this cake as described, using maraschino cherries and almonds. I baked it in a 24cm (9 inch) tube pan and it overflowed in the oven a bit, so I'd recommend a larger tin. I should also have tested it earlier because by 1hr 20min it was overcooked. Other than that, it's not bad, so I'll have another try one day.
