Substituting Cherries for Cranberries in White Chocolate Cherry Cake

I made this awhile back but haven't gotten around to posting the recipe. I got this recipe from a co-worker of mine back in 2005. It's for White Chocolate Cranberry Cake. But when cherries were in season, I ended up substituting the cranberries for cherries to make this delicious cake. Hubby gave it a thumbs up and as usual, we devoured it quicker than expected.

Changes in the recipe:
- Cherries = Cranberries (pitting all the cherries stained my fingers for days)
- Did not make the glaze.

Ingredients
6 oz of white chocolate chips
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
4 eggs
3 tbsp grated orange peel
3 tbsp orange juice
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1-1/2 cups fresh pitted cherries

Grease and flour bundt pan. Beat butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs, orange peel and orange juice. Mix well. Add flour and baking powder. Stir in chocolate and cherries.

Bake 60 minutes at 350 degrees. Cool in pan for 10 minutes and remove to a wire rack.
