Roselin, I am always looking for new cake recipes so I'll certainly will give this one a try.
Do you use sweet or dry sherry, or does it matter? |

I use the dry because that is what I always have on hand. If you like to drink sherry, sometime try Shooting Sherry.
A Brit friend introduced me to that and I really like it. Have trouble finding it here sometimes but a couple of the liquor stores carry it.

| Is that cooking sherry, like holland hall, or do I get it at a liquor store? |

Bridget, I buy mine at the liquor store. The cooking sherry has too much salt in it.
