If you are a chocolate and cherry lover then the chocolate is for you, this also is equally wonderful using a white cake mix with cherry or strawberry Jello, cherry pie filling and white Cool Whip or Whipped cream, I make the white version with my Kittencal's White Cake but boxed is fine Ingredients:
1 (18 1/4 ounce) package chocolate cake mix |
3 eggs (or as called for by your cake mix) |
1/3 cup oil (or as called for by your cake mix) |
1 1/3 cups water (or as called for by your cake mix) |
1 (3 ounce) package cherry gelatin (or use strawberry) |
1 cup boiling water |
1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling (or use a 28 ounce can) |
1 (16 ounce) container chocolate flavor cool whip frozen whipped topping, thawed (or use sweetened whipped cream) |
grated chocolate (or can use chopped nuts) |
Directions:
1. Prepare and bake the cake mix according to package directions in a greased 13 x 9-inch baking pan.
2. Cool then remove the cake from the pan.
3. Immediately poke holes down into the cake using a fork (holes should be at 1-in intervals).
4. Cool cake completely.
5. When the cake is cooked combine the Jello with boiling water until combined; pour the mixture over the cake.
6. Top with pie filling, then cover with Cool Whip or whipped cream.
7. If making the chocolate cake sprinkle grated chocolate over the top or chopped nuts (this is only optional).
