OT That chocolate cherry pie cake

Isn't it easy and super yummy? I am making it to take to church for the coffee and goodies after services.

Here's another simple yet naughty one that's rather similar:

Cherry Upside Down Cake

Ingredients-

2 cans cherry pie filling- the 'more fruit' kind is best for this 1 box devil's food cake mix

Directions-

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare cake mix according to package directions. Pour one can of cherry pie filling into each of two prepared 8 in. round cake pans. Spread evenly.

Pour batter over cherries, dividing equally between the two pans.

Bake 40-50 minutes or until toothpick tests clean. Cool pan 10 minutes. Invert onto serving plates. Serve warm or cooled.

Oh, MY!!!! now i really have to make that recipe! And this one is even easier! there goes the 4 lbs i lost.....i'll find them yet! LOL! amy

I'm not Pat (VBG) but I have the recipe, so here goes-

CHERRY CHIP BARS (Yield: 40 Servings)

Bars

2 pkgs. "JIFFY" Devil's Food Cake Mix (or one regular size box of cake mix- Jiffys are 1/2 size for one 8-9 in. pan) 1 can (21 oz.) cherry pie filling 6 oz. chocolate chips 2 eggs 1 tsp. almond extract

Glaze

1 pkg. "JIFFY" Fudge Frosting Mix 2 Tbsp. butter or margarine 6 oz. chocolate chips 2 Tbsp. water

------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.. Preheat oven to 350°. Grease and dust with flour a 15" x 10" jelly roll pan. 2.. Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Beat on low speed until blended. Beat 1 minute on medium speed. 3.. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes, until top springs back when lightly pressed. 4.. Let cool slightly while preparing glaze. 5.. For glaze, melt butter in saucepan with chips, over medium heat. 6.. Add frosting mix and water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat. Frost top of warm cake. Cool and cut into squares

Note- I figgered the mixer would chop up the cherries, so I only put about half the cherries and most of the "gravy" (???) from the cherries into the mix with the eggs and added the rest of the cherries at the very end of the mixing. That way I had some whole cherries and some good-sized chunks of cherries in the cake. I baked it in two 9 in. round cake pans instead of the larger rectangular pan. I didn't use the glaze on mine. YUMMY!!!

*Highly* recommended for quick and easy and really good.

It sounds really yummy. Here is my shopping list. Just trot off to Birmingham airport. Get on a plane to USA. Go to nearest supermarket. Pick up 2 packets of Jiffy Devils food cake mix.

Might as well get the cherries whilst I am there and the chocolate chips.

Fly back home. Go to son's house and get the eggs from the hen house. Bake cake. LOL

I wonder if there are substitutes in UK shops. Shirley

I wonder if Jane Asher's chocolate cake would do? . In message , Shirley Shone writes

Just any powdered/dry chocolate cake mix- ours call for several eggs and water and then beat them with an electric mixer for a few minutes. Does that help you to think of a substitute? Wish I could be more helpful.....

Thanks Leslie!!!! Barbara

Mary Berry has one online:

If you make any frosting/butter icing with the unrefined icing sugar from Tesco, etc. it has a fudge flavour.
