How to Make Moist Chocolate Cherry Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 cups granulated sugar, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt.
  3. Add 1 cup buttermilk, 1 cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  4. Gently fold in 1 cup chocolate chips and 1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
