I was skeptical of this recipe at first. It calls for a box of cake mix. I don't do cake mix. I can't even remember the last time I had a box of cake mix in my pantry. I'm a measuring-spoons-and-mixing-bowl girl.
But now I'm a believer. This cake is the exception to my rule. My mom made this cake last weekend, and it was just the right amount of moist with a nice cherry flavor.
Cherry Chocolate Cake
- 1 box devil's food cake mix
- 1 can cherry pie filling
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Mix all ingredients together. Pour in a greased 9-by-13 pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes. When cool, dust with powdered sugar.

The other lovely thing about this cake is that my mom served it on these quite beautiful mismatched, pink rose plates. Perfect for eating cake on the deck on a summer night.
She started collecting these dishes a few years ago to use at my bridal shower. She picked them up here and there at flea markets and thrift stores, and now she has a service for 30. Dinner plates, lunch plates, dessert plates, bowls, cups, saucers, salt and pepper shakers, serving dishes. I asked her how much she spent, and she said she paid around 50 cents each. It's a funky, inexpensive set of china.
