Once again I am proud of myself for actually making something that I pinned on Pinterest. I had to try this recipe mainly because I couldn't believe it would actually work.

Turns out, it does.

This is tastier and more unique than box cake- and yet it is actually easier than box cake.  Also you can customize to include any flavor combos you can think of!

Ronnie went crazy over this cake and has already requested it for his birthday. I also enjoyed it, but thought the Devil's Food overpowered the cherry a bit. Maybe next time I would use regular chocolate.

Also, the recipe claimed that this cake did not need frosting. I tasted it without the frosting and then decided to frost it. Use your best judgment.


"Are You Kidding" Chocolate-Covered Cherry Cake

Ingredients:




1 box  Devil's Food cake mix
1 can cherry pie filling
3 eggs
1 can chocolate frosting (optional)

That's it! No oil, no sugar, no butter, nothing.

Instructions:


1.  Preheat oven to 350 and grease a 9x13 pan.
2. Mix cake mix, pie filling, and eggs together in a large bowl. You don't even need to use your mixer!
3. Pour batter into pan. (Note: Due to the gelatinous texture of the pie filling, the batter will appear to be thicker than normal cake batter. But don't worry- it will still be incredibly moist!)



4. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. (The original recipe recommended 35, but I checked it after 30 and it was done. You can always bake it more but you can never unbake it!)


5. Let cool before frosting- or before deciding not to frost.

 Enjoy!
