- Bake time
- About 30 minutes
- Pan
- 13 × 9 × 2 inches
Cake Ingredients
- 1 box devil’s food cake mix
- 1 can cherry pie filling
- 2 eggs
Frosting Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 5 tablespoons butter
- ⅓ cup milk
- 6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 13 × 9 × 2-inch baking dish.
- Stir the dry cake mix, cherry pie filling, and eggs together by hand. The batter will be thick and lumpy; distribute it evenly in the dish.
- Bake approximately 30 minutes, until a cake tester inserted near the center comes out without wet batter. Place the pan on a cooling rack.
- While the cake is still warm, combine the sugar, butter, and milk in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring continuously.
- Boil for one minute, watching carefully. Remove the saucepan from the heat and mix in the chocolate chips until smooth.
- Spread the warm frosting gently over the warm cake. Let it cool fully before serving.
