Chocolate Cherry Cake

I have always loved Black Forest Cake, but here is a new twist. The cherries are baked inside! Topped with my favorite chocolate frosting, this cake is delicious.

Ingredients

1 can cherry pie filling (Savoie family prefers Comstock)
1 box chocolate cake mix
2 eggs
1 cup mini chocolate chips
Chocolate frosting

Method

Preheat oven to 350. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Stir gently, doing your best to break up the cake mix without squishing the cherries too much. Spoon into a greased and floured 9×13 pan. Bake for about 30-35 minutes until a tester comes out clean.  Top with chocolate frosting after it has cooled completely. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.

Tip: When making frosting, I usually make a double recipe and store leftovers in the freezer. Just let it thaw on the counter.
