Wonderful stuff! This is the birthday cake I made for myself this year, and it was fantastic. I used a Pilsbury Devil's Food mix, and lite Cool Whip, and it couldn't have been easier. My aunt and mom agreed on the 5 star rating. This one's a keeper. Thanks bunches Denise! -
Awesome results! I had to make this cake over the weekend because I just couldn't get the recipe out of my head. I made it expecting to eat a piece or two and then I would take the rest to work because my husband isn't too much of a chocolate fan and I didn't want to eat the whole thing by myself. Well, needless to say...I can't take the cake to work because my husband and I have been eating the cake all weekend and there is only about half of it left. I figure I'll just pass out the recipe to my co-workers and tell everyone about it :) Great recipe, thanks for sharing!

We LOVED this recipe. Has made it to the "keepers". I was a little concerned about how sweet the dessert might be however, to my surprise the ingredients all worked together very well. This cake is nothing but addictive. -

The cake was good, but a bit TOO sweet. The sweetness over powered the taste of the cherries and chocolate cake.. I would use half the amount of condensed milk and cream of coconut, or just use coconut milk instead of the cream of coconut next time.
