{Lazy} Chocolate Cherry Fudge Cake


Description

This chocolate cherry fudge cake is SUPER easy to make and has the most amazing homemade fudge frosting. Mmmmmmm so good!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 chocolate fudge cake mix
  • 1 can cherry pie filling
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon almond or vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 5 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Mix first four ingredients and pour into a greased cake pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.
  2. Bring sugar, butter, and milk to a boil in a saucepan. Boil for 1 minute. Stir in chocolate chips and continue stirring until melted. Frost cake immediately.

Notes

Two variations:

Make this in individual sized ramekins. Adjust baking time to about 15 minutes, or until top springs back when touched.

Cut cake or mini-cakes in half, make a little extra frosting (1.5x), and add a layer of frosting in between the layers of cake. I did this with my ramekin cakes and the large cake – it was actually really easy to do.
