cherry chocolate cake (black forest cherry cake)


This is actually a picture of the chocolate bundt cake I posted before. Sorry the picture is so dark. I was too lazy to edit it. I just made this again for a family get-together and wanted to show a picture of it. I was so glad to have a place to take one so I could have a piece of it.

While I was looking for the recipe I found my copy of the recipe for what we called Black Forest Cherry Cake growing up. It technically is not a Black Forest Cherry Cake, but it is delicious and one of my favorite cakes ever. It is so moist and the cherries are sweet surprises. I felt like posting it after Shellie put on the Chicken Pot Pie. I think we should get all of our favorite family recipes on here.


Black Forest Cherry Chocolate Cake

1 pkg chocolate cake mix (devil's food is great)
1/4 cup oil
3 eggs
1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling

Beat first three ingredients well. Fold in the cherry pie filling (so that you don't destroy all the cherries with the mixer.) Pour into a greased and floured 12-cup bundt pan and bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Cool in pan for at least 25 minutes before inverting.

Decorate and serve with 1 (additional) can cherry pie filling and whipped cream.

I have also baked this in a 9X13 for 35 minutes and just sprinkled it with powdered sugar.
