I love simple dessert recipes that require just a couple ingredients to make. I have shared quite a few of our favorites here on the blog. Our Boston Cream Poke Cake is one of our favorite easy cake recipes. It uses canned frosting to create a easy chocolate ganache. I used that same technique with this Chocolate Cherry Cake. The layer of chocolate kicks this dessert over the top.
So many simple cake recipes start with a basic boxed cake mix. In this recipe, I used a Dark Chocolate Fudge. I LOVE chocolate. If you prefer less chocolate, you could use a Devils food cake mix or just a plain chocolate. The cherry flavor really comes though from the Cherry Pie filling. You will definitely taste it on your first bite.
This cake is super tasty all by itself. I added on some whipped cream and a cherry on top just to give it a bit of extra yumminess. The cake would perfect without the garnish too! As you take your first bite, you think, “oh this is a great basic chocolate cake.” Then the cherry flavor kicks and you realize that it is not just a plain cake.
