Main Ingredients
-
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 21 ounces cherry pie filling
Frosting
- 1 tub chocolate frosting or 2 cups of homemade frosting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350º Fahrenheit. Spray a 9×13 baking pan with cooking spray to ensure the cake doesn’t stick.
- Prepare the batter: Using a hand mixer, combine the cake mix, egg, and almond extract in a large mixing bowl until the mixture forms coarse crumbs. Be sure to scrape the sides of the bowl to incorporate all ingredients evenly.
- Add cherry filling: Mix in the cherry pie filling thoroughly to create a cohesive batter.
- Pour and bake: Pour the prepared batter into the greased baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and frost: Allow the cake to cool completely before spreading chocolate frosting evenly over the top.
- Store the cake: Keep the cake at room temperature to maintain freshness.
