Great cake made with Cheerwine®.
The directions for making the cake are based on the particular brand mentioned. Follow instructions on the box if using a different brand, substituting cherry soda for the water.
Having lived most of my life in NC and having a daughter that LOVES Cheerwine, I thought I needed to make this cake. I made it as written to include the Duncan Hines Yellow Cake Mix. Unfortunately my family did not love the cake. My husband and oldest said the cake reminded them of a cake you would have in an Army chow hall. It wasn't bad but not their favorites. I may have spoiled them with my homemade cakes. I will continue looking for a Cheerwine cake they love.
