Heather- Sorry, I only read the first page of replies to my original 9/14 e-mail, b/c I read msges in the flat mode and I didn't realize there was a second page of replies to your first msge about the typo. So, sorry about repeating what others already wrote about this typo not being listed on the weblinked recipe correction page.
I'm still getting used to using this msge board, as I've never participated in one before now. I never found any until yours that I thought were worth my time- too many uninformed and poorly written msges on all of the ones I've ever looked at before yours. However, this one that you've created and and its community of participants are GREAT!

The cocoa muffins were great plain. I tried them that way when I first posted the recipe, and didn't try the dried cherries till the second time around.

Hi Mags,
Thanks alot for the reply about the muffins, I love chocolate so will make them soon.
My first ? is one you may not have actually tried, since you like cherries. However, you seem really knowledgeable about H's diet from all the posts I've read of yours over the past 2 months since I discovered this board, so I'd like your opinion about making the choc cherry pound cake w/o the cherries. Do you think this cake's recipe would work w/o cherries just as it is, or do you think I need to add something to replace the cherries?
Second ? is: does this cake have the texture of a real pound cake or is it very similar to the muffins in its taste and texture? Thanks,  LL

Hi LL!
If I were to try it, I'd make it without the cherries and not adjust the sugar. Persoally, I think it will work fine without them, and without adding anything else.
Honestly, I've only made the recipe 2 times - once without the sugar, and once with. LOL That was last winter, because I don't do much, if any, baking in the summer, so I can't remember the texture. Sorry. 
I love chocolate also. For a real chocolate urge, try Luigi's Chocolate Fudge Real Italian Ice. They are fat free and have safe ingredients. Thier website is www.luigis.com. They don't show info for the chocolate ones, but at least you can see what the packaging looks like - I always like to know what the packaging of things look like, because it helps me find it in the store.

Hi - You can omit the cherries and not adjust the recipe and things will be fine. I'll tell you a little secret - the recipes for chocolate applesauce cake, peppermint fudge cake, and chocolate cherry poundcake are darn near the same exact cake. The flavoring, dried fruit, spices, and shape of baking pan vary, but other than that they're nearly identical. This is probably the most flexible cake recipe I've ever worked with. In fact, if you have the banana walnut cake recipe from a Heather Cooks show (go to the recipes section of the website and you can find it from there), that's also a variation of the same darn cake!
So, add or omit dried fruit, change the extracts, add or leave out ground spices, whatever your like. The texture is always going to be close to a poundcake in that it's very smooth and a little dense and very rich - it's not light like a sponge cake, and it's not at all crumbly like like some muffins.

I'm having a big kick out of thinking I'll be dreaming of CoCo all night long...

I can hardly wait until morning to get started in the kitchen.
In St.Peterburg Fl.. this town will roll in CoCo.. and more with Heather & Company Tickled Tummies.
Thanks again,
