Notes: When I was a kid, I always asked mom to make this for my Birthday instead of a regular cake. While this might not be a culinary masterpiece. It reminds me of mom and her being in the kitchen selfishly cooking for us and especially for dad. Mom always made her cherry pie filling from scratch using bottled pie cherries. No worries though if you use a can of prepared cherry pie filling. It is still delicious!
