I made this twice now, once in a regular sized cake and once in sheets. Both times it was raved over.

The cake itself is fantastic and not dry, I followed the instruction to the letter on that. Only thing I changed up was I made a jam for my cherry layers.

Turned out wonderfully! Was a huge hit for Valentine’s day. The cake layers are very moist, so I did have to pop them in the freezer for 20min or so to handle them for assembly. I would also try doubling the cherry syrup reduction as I felt like I needed a bit more.
