Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking dish. (5 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

In a large bowl, combine the devil's food cake mix, cherry pie filling, eggs, and vegetable oil. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, then increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes until light and fluffy. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish. (5 minutes)

03

Step
40 mins

Bake in the preheated oven for 26 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. (40 minutes)

04

Step
25 mins

While the cake is cooling, prepare the chocolate ganache. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, milk, and butter. Simmer, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips. Stir until the chocolate is melted and the ganache is smooth. (25 minutes)

05

Step
20 mins

Let the ganache cool slightly, about 20 minutes, until it thickens to a pourable consistency.

06

Step
5 mins

Once the cake is completely cool, poke holes into the top using a fork or skewer. Pour the chocolate ganache over the cake, allowing it to drizzle down the sides. Let the ganache set before serving. (5 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, add a teaspoon of almond extract to the cake batter.
If you prefer a thicker ganache, use heavy cream instead of milk.
Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
