Ingredients
- 2, 21-ounce cans cherry pie filling
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 15.25 ounce box chocolate cake mix
- 12 tablespoons salted butter, melted (1 ½ sticks)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- To the pan, add in cherry pie filling and vanilla. Stir to combine.
- Spread the cherry pie filling across the bottom of the dish.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the cherry mixture.
- Pour the dry chocolate cake mix over the cherries making sure to smooth over the top.
- Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the top is set and slightly crisp, and the cherries are bubbly.
- Cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Drizzle the butter as evenly as possible so the cake mix bakes through without dry patches.
- Smooth the cake mix gently for an even topping without disturbing the fruit underneath.
- Bubbling fruit around the edges is a reliable sign the cake is ready.
- Let the cake rest for 10 to 15 minutes so the filling thickens slightly.
