Guest guest Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 My bf's 28th bday was Wednesday and I was out of town until Tuesday evening. He wanted a Cherry Cordial type cake. I usually go all out and make everything from scratch, but needless to say was beat after the flight, working 12 days straight, and I had no time. Luckily, the cake turned out FANTASTIC so I had to share. I will probably do it from scratch next time, but it's so simple, easy and quick. 1 box Chocolate Cake mix (moist) 1 can Cherry Pie filling 1 Chocolate Frosting 1 tsp. Vanilla Follow Chocolate Cake mix ingredient requirements but exclude the water. For my mix it called for 1/2 C butter and 3 eggs (excluding water), some call for oil instead of butter. Mix all ingredients and bake per box directions. Note use a sheet cake pan for it. I made the cake in my 9 " Springform and that was a bad idea due to it's thickness (not runny like a usual cake bater can be) It makes a very fluffy and flavorful cake and I think is a great base if you want to jazz it up even more. Maybe adding chocolate chips etc. or a layer cake with cherries and chocolate between the layers, you name it! Anyways the cake was a hit with him and his very picky family (of cooks as well) so the day was saved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 Yes, it was super easy. Just one can mix it right in to the cake mix with whatever else it calls for (except water). Let me know how it goes over! I used a fudge chip frosting (with chips in it) and everyone approved. , " Linda Jackson " <lindandy wrote: > > thanks for this one....so you just mixed the cherry pie filling into the cake mix? my dh loves cherry chocolates and his birthday is coming up the week after thanksgiving...this would be just teh thing and I can do it!
