Print Recipe

A moist and rich chocolate cake infused with cherry pie filling and almond extract, topped with a smooth chocolate frosting. Perfect for any occasion and easy to prepare with simple ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box Devil's Food cake mix
  • 1 (21 oz) can cherry pie filling
  • 1 tsp almond extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 5 tablespoons butter
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, mix the cake mix, cherry pie filling, almond extract, and eggs by hand until moist and well combined.
  3. Pour the batter into a greased 13 x 9-inch baking pan.
  4. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  5. While the cake cools on a rack, prepare the frosting: bring white sugar, butter, and milk to a boil in a saucepan, stirring constantly. Boil for 2 full minutes.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in semisweet chocolate chips until melted and smooth.
  7. Pour the chocolate frosting over the partially cooled cake and spread evenly.
  8. Allow the cake to cool completely before serving.

Notes

This cake is best served slightly warm or at room temperature. Using almond extract enhances the cherry flavor, but vanilla extract can be substituted if unavailable. The frosting can be adjusted for thickness by varying the boiling time.
