Adding sugar fast is not a problem.did you use same size eggs all the time? I don’t really know what could be the problem.Maybe try using 8 eggs instead of 10,and reduce flour and sugar size to 1 1/2 cups. Sorry,i don’t know what could be the case,As i mentioned earlier in the comments I’ve been making it for years using this recipe.:/

I made this cake twice and it was fine and then one day I tried making it again and it started to overflow like the other comments said. I don’t know what happened. I think maybe I mixed the sugar with the eggs too fast, I think I just threw all the sugar in instead of little by little. Do you think that could be the problem? Note:I used the same pan.

Yes it will taste different.Vodka is a “No” for sure.You can try rum,although I didn’t try with it.But I did try it with red wine before,and I didn’t like it.

Hey Nadush, we love this cake! Thank u for the recipe! It’s one of my & my hubby’s fave cakes.. This last time that I made it for my sis’ bday I did something a lil different & it also turned out amazing!! Instead of cherries I mixed in fresh raspberries into the cake batter, & I added kahlua into the cream.. The sweet from the cream & kahlua went really well with the sour raspberries. Also I decorated the top with fresh raspberries & blueberries.. It was really good, thank u for the inspiration. Also because the cake has the cream all through it we didn’t have to wait for it to soak through.. I finished making it around 4pm & we ate it 3 hours later & it was perfect. There was not a piece left @ the end of the night:)

Did you use the right size of pan? and it probably needs more baking time.

I tried making this cake and when I was baking it dough started to overflow and inside the cake wouldn't get baked, I tripled checked the recipe and everything seems correct, any ideas what could have gone wrong ?

Love this recipe for drunken cherry. I think this is the best i have tried. I didnt have Kahlua so i soaked the cherries in Rum. I think the Kahlua will be even better. But even with that, it was delicious and so easy to make.One of my favorites cakes.

For some cakes I use self rising flour.

No I don't use canadian flour, I use unbleached all purpose flour.
