#991 - Chocolate Cherry Cake

(by Shirley McNevich)

1/4 cup canola oil
1 box Duncan Hines chocolate cake mix
1/2 cup water
2 eggs
1 - 21oz. can Lucky Leaf cherry pie filling
Frosting: 5 TBSP softened butter, 1 cup Domino's powdered sugar, 1/2 cup milk, 1 cup Nestle's semi-sweet chocolate bits

Pour the canola oil into the bottom of a 9 x 13 cake pan--use a folded paper towel to smear the oil up on to the sides of the pan. Make sure the bottom and sides of the cake pan are coated--set aside. In a large bowl add eggs--beat with a fork. Add cake mix and water--stir well. Add cherry pie filling--stir until mixed. Pour batter into the greased cake pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes--test with a toothpick for doneness. Cool cake for 30 minutes. Frosting: in a saucepan over medium heat add butter, milk, and powdered sugar--stir and bring to a boil. Once boiling time it for 2 minutes then remove from heat and stir in the chocolate bits. Stir until chocolate bits have melted. Spread the frosting over the top of the cake. Cool completely.
