Really good and simple choc cake
Permalink Closed

Here is a recipe for a really yummy cake that was brought to our office luncheon.  It looks beautiful, tastes totally homemade (even though it involves cake mix from a box) and is really easy.  Just thought I'd share:


Chocolate Cherry Bundt Cake


 


Ingredients:


 


Cake:


1 pkg Devil’s Food cake mix


1 large can (16 oz) cherry pie filling


˝ tsp almond extract


 


Fudge Chocolate Frosting:


12 oz bag semi-sweet chocolate chips


4 T milk


2 T butter


1-2 cups, powdered sugar


1 tsp almond extract


 


Instructions:


 


Make the cake mix according to package directions, except OMIT the oil and add the cherry filling and almond extract.  Bake in a bundt pan according to the package directions.


 


Frosting:  Melt chocolate chips in a double broiler.  Remove from heat and stir in milk and butter.  Mix in powdered sugar until frosting reaches desired consistency – it should be somewhere between a glaze and a frosting.  Pour/spread over cooled cake.

It's really good.  The icing dripped down the sides a little and it looked like something from a cooking magazine.  Also, my coworker told me today that she always uses 3 medium sized eggs, even if the box says to use fewer than that.  I think that's what made it so moist.  Let me know how it turns out if you make it. 


BTW how did your interview go on Monday?

Congrats, that's great!  Although it would be great to have you here in DC!
