Cousin Candy's Chocolate-Covered Cherry Cake
Cousin Candy wowed us with her Sugar Cookie Supreme recipe last winter. Now she's springing ahead with her to-die-for sassy summer chocolate-cherry cake. Get it right here, Diva Darlings, its daringly delish!
INGREDIENTS
Cake
1 devil's food cake mix or devil's food cake mix with pudding
1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling
2 large eggs
1 tsp almond extract
Chocolate Glaze
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup whole milk
1 cup (6 oz) semisweet chocolate chips
DIRECTIONS
Heat oven to 350 degrees and lightly spray a 9 X 13 pan with veggie spray.
Mix cake mix, cherry pie filling, eggs and almond extract together for 3 minutes. Pour into pan and place in oven. Bake for approximately 30-45 minutes or until it springs back when lightly pressed with fingers and just starts to pull away from the sides of pan. Cake sinks as it cools.
Glaze: In a small sauce pan, combine sugar, butter, and milk. Heat, stirring constantly, until it boils. Continue stirring and boiling for 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate chips. When chips have melted and glaze is smooth, pour it over the warm cake so that it covers the entire surface. Cool cake for 20 minutes more before cutting it into squares and serving.
Note from Cousin Candy - "The lady who gave me this recipe said she put in a box of pudding with a plain devil's food cake mix. Not the mix with pudding already in it."
