An old-time favorite!!!! There are many versions of this recipe. As the cake bakes, the cherries, cake mix and butter will mix and the finished product will be a cake filled with cherries (and topped with coconut and pecans if you use the first recipe. You will probably want to double or triple for your 20+ people. Yummm!
