Chocolate cake and cherry pie filling blend together to make the most scrumptious bundt cake. You can't get much easier than this cake.
It all starts with a cake mix. Yes, I said cake mix. Seriously though, you would never even know this is a cake mix.
You make the cake by combining a box of fudge cake mix with eggs and cherry pie filling. No need to add the water or oil that the mix calls for, just the eggs, pie filling, and almond extract.
You can certainly make this in a 9 x 13 pan or make into a layered cake but I just prefer a bundt cake. It is just something about a bundt cake. It just elevates a plain ol' cake into something spectacular.
While going through my mom's stuff, I came across my grandma's cake stand. I have a slight obsession with cake stands and just had to have it. Now when I use it I think of my grandma and my mom and feel like I have a little piece of them with me.
This cake is a super moist cake that’s loaded with chunks of cherries. It’s the perfect cake for potlucks, picnics, or parties because who can say no to chocolate cake.
