Ingredients
Ingredients
- 42 ounces canned cherry pie filling (2 (21-ounce) cans)
- 1 box chocolate cake mix (about 15.25 ounces)
- 1 cup butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a 13×9 inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Layer Cherry Filling: Evenly spread the entire 42 ounces of cherry pie filling across the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating a flavorful base.
- Add Cake Mix: Carefully sprinkle the dry chocolate cake mix over the cherry filling in an even layer, covering the fruit completely.
- Pour Butter: Pour the melted butter evenly over the cake mix. Use a spoon to gently swirl the butter and cake mix together to create a slightly marbled effect.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the cake cool for about 10 minutes before serving warm. This allows the filling to set slightly for easier portioning.
Notes
- You can substitute cherry pie filling with other fruit pie fillings like blueberry or apple for variety.
- For extra texture, consider adding chopped nuts or chocolate chips on top before baking.
- Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an indulgent touch.
- Make sure to evenly distribute the butter to ensure the cake mix bakes evenly and forms a moist, flavorful crust.
