Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix
- 1 can (15 oz) cherry pie filling
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup water
- For Ganache: 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, cherry pie filling, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Mix until just combined; the batter will be thick.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let it cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- To make the ganache, heat the heavy cream in a saucepan until simmering. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate chips and butter until smooth.
- Once cooled, pour ganache over the cake and spread evenly. Allow it to set before slicing.
