Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 42 oz Cherry pie filling
- 8 oz Crushed pineapple (optional, drained)
- 15.25 oz Devil's food cake mix
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional, such as pecans or walnuts)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
Spread the cherry pie filling evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. If using, layer the drained pineapple over the cherries.
Sprinkle the dry devil's food cake mix evenly over the fruit layer, ensuring full coverage without mixing together.
Cut the butter into thin slices and place them evenly across the top of the cake mix layer. This will help the cake mix bake and form a crust.
Sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips over the top of the butter layer. Add the chopped nuts on top if desired for extra texture and flavor.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally paired with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
