How I wish I could find the cherry chip mix in our area! Take a look at the October 2002 newsletter. (Click on Newsletter at the top of the main message board page.) It has a recipe for a Cherry Chip Sheetcake. You add a can of cherry pie filling (I think it's pie filling and not just cherries) so it would make a VERY cherry cake. Others on the board have made the Chocolate Covered Cherry Cake in a bundt pan (it uses cherry pie filling too) and wouldn't make it any other way. If you don't want something with that many cherries, I'd doctor the mix up similarly to so many of the pound cakes in the books. If you don't have the books, check through the recipes listed under Recipe Corner - and there are some great cakes in the many newsletters.

I'll agree with Carolyn. A lot of times I use a basic pound cake recipe that I have used and like, for different flavors of cake mix. I know it may not be healthy but sour cream makes a nice moist cake, and also, buttermilk which is supposed to be relatively healthy makes a nice moist cake. I just made a chocolate tonight with buttermilk. Oh, I have trouble liking anything as much as chocolate, and the deeper chocolate the better, but put chocolate and the cherry pie filling together, and it is really superb. I wonder what would happen if you used your mix and made the Chocolate Covered Cherry, pages 50-51 on CMD. I think if you wanted to do that it would work fine. I am one who makes almost all of them in a bundt pan. Let us know what you do, and what happens. We are always looking for new ideas.
