I don't know where Granny got this recipe, but boy oh boy is it good. I have to say that it doesn't look pretty; it looks like a very homemade chocolate cake. But served warm, your family will go back for seconds and thirds. Ingredients:
18 ounces devil's food cake mix or 18 ounces fudge cake mix |
2 eggs |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling |
1/2 cup margarine |
3 tablespoons baking cocoa |
6 tablespoons milk |
1 (16 ounce) box powdered sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
Directions:
1. Combine cake mix, eggs, vanilla & cherry pie filling, mix until well-blended.
2. Pour into a greased and floured 9x13 inch cake pan.
3. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 40 minutes.
4. While still hot, spread with the frosting.
5. For frosting, stir over low heat, the margarine and cocoa until almost boiling.
6. Do not boil.
7. Remove from heat and stir in sugar, milk and vanilla.
8. Mix well until smooth.
9. Pour over the hot cake and spread evenly.
10. Serve immediately or cover with foil and refrigerate.
11. Keeps well for several days, if it lasts that long.
