This recipe was delicious!!! I made it for a friend of mine's birthday cake and everyone loved it. They all went back for seconds. :) It was easy to make and the only part that took a long time was waiting for it to cool to add frosting :) Thank you Betty Croker :) I loved the icing and I could definately taste the cherry coke and actual cherry flavor in the cake. Maybe you didnt use enough cherries and maybe you didnt stir the frosting enough and make it smooth to work with. Just be sure to follow the recipe 100% and it turns out great.

Cake was good but that frosting was too sweet, sticky, and completely a mess to work with. You are better to make a basic butter cream with cherry almond flavoring. You also could not taste the cherry flavor in the cake.
