In reply to Melissa Griffiths. CAKE sounds delicious! JUST wanted to make sure there are not supposed to be any eggs in the cake before I start to make it. I didn't see any listed in the INGREDIENTS list. TIA

In reply to Lynn. Should work fine! You might need to adjust the baking time, I assume it would take less time!

Question: could the cake be made in a Bundt pan without the filling?

I didn’t make the cake, but I made the maraschino cherry filling for a tequila sunrise cake. The texture is lovely, but it does not need the butter. I tasted it before I added it and it was lovely and fruity. After I added the butter, the texture didn’t change that much, but the vibrant flavor was gone and it was now just vaguely sweet with an unpleasant fattiness. I will do it again and I think it would be lovely in a chocolate cake, but I will never put butter in it again.

In reply to Janet. The cherry filling is fairly thick, so it won't sog out the cake. As shown in the pictures, yes you'll pipe a rim of chocolate frosting around the outside of the bottom layer to prevent the cherries from going to the edge. Enjoy!
