As a child, each of us kids got to choose our birthday cake. My Daddy was a wonderful cook and baker. This was always my choice. To this day it is, hands down, my favorite cake. I use the cast iron skillet that was passed down to me and cherish both the memories it holds and the food it gives. Thank you for this recipe. I'll be baking it soon. (Although I admit to being wary of placing the cherries after the fact. We'll see... LOL!
