How to Make Chocolate Cherry Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. Prepare your favorite boxed chocolate cake mix according to package directions, but substitute 3 large eggs instead of the amount specified on the box.
  3. Gently fold in 1 (15 ounce) can cherry pie filling, reserving about 1/2 cup for topping.
  4. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  5. Sprinkle the reserved 1/2 cup of cherry pie filling over the top of the batter.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let cool completely before frosting (optional). Enjoy!
