Ingredients
2 (20 oz) cans cherry pie filling
1 (18.5 oz) box chocolate cake mix
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Spread both cans of cherry pie filling evenly into a 9×13 inch baking pan.
Pour the dry chocolate cake mix evenly over the cherry layer.
Slowly drizzle the melted butter over the top of the cake mix, ensuring all visible powder is moistened.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes until the edges are bubbling and the center is set.
Notes
Ensure all dry cake mix is moistened by the butter to avoid dry pockets. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or non-dairy whipped topping.
