1 Devil's Food Cake Mix
2 eggs, beaten
Mix all cake ingredients together with a spoon and bake in 9x13 greased pan for 35-40 minutes at 350 degrees.
When cake is semi-cool (doesn't have to be completely cool, just warm), boil the topping ingredients for one minute, stirring constantly, then pour over the cake.
…devil’s cake mix, cherry pie filling,
Mix all of the ingredients together with a spoon, add a 1/2 cup of chocolate chips in once it’s all mixed together. This makes it EXTRA chocolatey!
Grease a 9×13 pan and preheat your oven to 350 degrees, then pour your batter into the pan.
When your cake is done baking, then mix together your icing ingredients in a saucepan on the stove and boil for one minute. Once complete remove it and immediately pour and smooth over cake. This gives a great ganache type icing that is amazing!
The cherry pie filling perfectly compliments this cake and gives it a little added flavor without being overwhelmingly cherry. And the chocolate topping keeps it perfectly moist!
This looks amazing. Do you think it could be made into cupcakes? I am thinking I would make the cupcakes and then just dip them into the ganache topping. We have a bake sale this weekend and I have all the ingredients for this in the cupboard. Thanks!
Lori I was wondering the same thing! Did you do it? I just saw Ina Garten make a ganache icing for cupcakes the other day, and she just dipped them into it like you said!!! This looks so DELISH!
Umm…I’m not sure. The filling of the cherries adds a lot of moistness to the cake. You could try it?
I think you could pick out the large cherries and add some maraschino cherries that are cut in half and patted dry. That’s what I’m going to try, I hate pie filling.
Maybe you could not use the cherry pie filling, and instead make a cherry glaze with the maraschino cherry juice. You can also make a fresh berry glaze with cherry jello and a few other ingredients. Then you could cut up maraschino cherries to add, when the glaze has cooled. Google how to make a fresh berry glaze. You an make any flavor with jello – cherry, strawberry, blueberry, raspberry, etc. I would weigh out the amount of glaze and cherries, per the recipe, so the moistness works in the recipe.
Another idea – many bakery supply places sell fruit pastry fillings, in long plastic tubes. I use them as fillings in wedding cakes. You could probably use this in place of the cherry pie filling. Just use equal amounts, per the recipe. They are not super sweet, and are thick, probably much like you would end up with if you pureed a can of cherry pie filling in a food processor.
