Anyone have a great cherry chocolate cake recipe they would be willing to share? My BIL asked me to make his birthday cake for his birthday party on wednesday. No problem, except for the fact he wants a cherry cake and I have no cherry cake recipes. Its need to be able to withstand being outside in about 60 to 70 degree weather. Thanks!

I just baked the cherry cake that crystalina1977 mentioned. It is for my son's graduation on Sunday - the whole house smelled so yummy! I can't wait until Sunday to try it!!

I have the layers in my freezer and will decorate them on Saturday. Will be filling it with the sleeved cherry filling.
