minutesIngredients
1 package of Fudge Cake Mix
1 (21oz) can of cherry pie filling
2 eggs, beaten
Frosting:
1 stick of unsalted butter
1 and 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup milk
1 and 1/2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
- Grease the bottom and sides of a 13X9 inch pan with non stick cooking spray
- In a large bowl, combine cake mix, cherry pie filling and beaten eggs (beat eggs in a separate bowl and add to the large bowl). STIR BY HAND. Do NOT use an electric mixer as that will macerate the cherries
- Pour into prepared 13X9 inch pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If you don’t have any toothpicks on hand then a butter knife will work just the same
- While the cake is cooling, prepare the frosting
- In a medium sized saucepan, combine butter, sugar and milk. Stir constantly and let mixture come to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes (continue to stir constantly or mixture will burn on the bottom)
- Remove from heat and add chocolate chips. Mix until smooth. Pour over the cake
- After cake and frosting have cooled, cut into bars and serve!
