This recipe is a waste of time and ingredients. The cake was bland and tasteless.

I've tried this recipe several times and I can never get it right. The cake always turns out dry and dense.

This cake was a disappointment. It was dry and crumbly, and the cherries were tough. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I'm not usually a fan of chocolate cake, but this recipe changed my mind. The cake was moist and fluffy, and the cherries added a nice tartness that balanced out the sweetness of the chocolate. I will definitely be making this cake again.
