This is a very quick and easy cake to make. It is fancy enough to serve to guests.—Lois Valley, Morgan Hill, California

Ingredients

  • CAKE:
  • 1 package chocolate fudge cake mix (regular size)
  • 1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • FROSTING:
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup whole milk
  • 5 tablespoons butter, cubed
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

  1. In a bowl, stir together all cake ingredients. Pour into a greased 13x9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until cake tests done. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, mix sugar, milk and butter. Bring to a boil and boil for 1-1/2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in chocolate chips until melted. Pour over hot cake. Frosting will harden as it cools.
