How much milk? Can this be baked in a Bundt pan?

Hi Jan,

Drain the juice from the can of cherries into a measuring cup. Add enough milk to measure 1 1/4 cups.

This cake should be baked in a 9 x 13 inch pan.

I have now made this recipe twice. The first time it was good but the second time it was even better. I substituted 1/2 tsp vanilla with 1/2 tsp of almond extract. So Yummy! Doesn't even need icing, but added it anyway since I was making cupcakes for my daughters B-Day.

Made this for my boyfriend's birthday. His favorite cake is Betty Crocker cherry chip cake, but I wanted to bake one from scratch. Baked in two (9-inch) rounds for 30 minutes, and frosted with homemade buttercream frosting with cherry juice. Topped with four cherries with stems. He said that Betty Crocker has nothing compared to this cake! It was DELICIOUS!!! Thank you!!!

Haven't made this yet, but I'm wondering if I can cut the recipe in half and have it still be delicious?
