Ingredients
For the cake:
- 1 .75-oz. box devil's food cake mix
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 can cherry pie filling
For the frosting:
- 5 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1/3 cup milk
- 7 ounces dark chocolate chips*
- Maraschino cherries to garnish
Instructions
For the cake:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a 9x13 inch cake pan with nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat together cake mix, 3 eggs, 1/2 cup sour cream, vanilla, and salt. Scrape the bottom and sides well.
- Add the mini chocolate chips and the cherry pie filling. You can either fold this in with a spatula if you want your cherries to remain whole, or you can beat it with the mixer. Either way make sure the pie filling is incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake the cake at 350 for about 33-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out of the center with no batter on it.
- Let cool 10-15 minutes, then make the frosting. If you want, use a fork to poke some holes all over the top of your cake. This is so that some of the frosting seeps down, but it's totally optional.
For the frosting:
- Melt butter over medium-high heat in a saucepan. Add sugar and milk.
- Bring to a boil, stirring very frequently. Once it has reached a rolling boil, remove from heat and let cool 1 minute.
- Add the dark chocolate and let sit for another minute.
- Stir until smooth.
- Immediately pour the frosting over the warm cake.
- Serve warm or room temperature. With a tall glass of cold milk please! And don't forget to garnish each slice with some maraschino cherries.
Notes
- *6 ounces is 1 cup. Don't stress about this measurement too much. Just dump a little extra on top of your cup.
