I made Orangette's pound cake for a birthday last weekend. I didn't have any kirsch, but otherwise I followed her recipe, more or less. I was a tiny bit short of both sugar and butter, so made up the difference with confectioner's sugar and coconut oil, respectively. Used vanilla extract instead of kirsch. This turned out good, but didn't blow me away. I always want cake to blow me away. It's probably an unfair expectation.
I do recommend trying this with kirsch, or perhaps with lemon zest/extract, as the flavoring instead of vanilla. Orangette says in her comments that the kirsch really makes it, and I'm sure she's right.
