How to Make Chocolate Cherry Cake With Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. Prepare your favorite chocolate cake mix according to package directions.
  3. Gently stir in one (21 ounce) can of cherry pie filling.
  4. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  5. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  7. While the cake cools, prepare the frosting: In a medium bowl, beat together 1 (16 ounce) container of chocolate frosting with 4 ounces of softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  8. Once the cake is completely cool, frost the top evenly.
  9. Garnish with maraschino cherries (optional).
