Easy Chocolate Cake with Cherry Topping
This Easy Chocolate Cake recipe is as simple to make as it is tasty. It whips up in no time, yet is a decadent and delicious dessert. Our mom would make this as a quick Sunday dessert for us. I had no idea how easy it was until I made it on my own! I almost always have the ingredients on-hand. It is a great “emergency” dessert when you are asked last-minute (or forget until the last minute). It’s the perfect recipe for potlucks. I found all of the ingredients to make this cake at the Albertsons on Broadway in Boise. I love going there around holidays because they have the cutest seasonal stuff in their floral section and in their bakery! I couldn’t help but put a couple of their hanging heart succulents in my basket as well. Look how cute they are!
Does it have to be cherries? Does it have to be a chocolate flavored cake?
Cherries are so, so good, but any fruit filling will give this easy chocolate cake color and flavor. Raspberry and strawberry pie filling work great, even blackberry is delicious. For even more variation, try lemon cake with blueberry pie filling, a spice cake with apple pie filling, or a vanilla cake with peach pie filling. With this basic recipe, the possibilities are endless!
