Description

This Triple Chocolate Cherry Cake is a decadent dessert loaded with chocolate and cherries. Made with chocolate cake mix, cherry pie filling, chocolate chips, and a smooth chocolate glaze, it’s rich, moist, and surprisingly easy to make. Perfect for holidays, birthdays, or any day you want a chocolate fix!


Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate fudge cake mix

  • 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

For the Chocolate Glaze:

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter

Optional Toppings:

  • Fresh cherries or maraschino cherries

  • Shaved chocolate or extra chocolate chips

  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)

 



Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine chocolate cake mix, cherry pie filling, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well until fully combined (batter will be thick).

  • Fold in mini chocolate chips.

  • Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly.

  • Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. Let the cake cool in the pan.

  • While cake cools, make the glaze: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it just starts to simmer. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate chips and butter until smooth.

  • Pour glaze over the cooled cake and spread evenly. Let it set for at least 15 minutes.

  • Top with cherries, chocolate shavings, or a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.

 

  • Slice and serve!


Notes

  • You can use dark chocolate chips for a richer taste.

  • This cake also works well in a Bundt pan—just increase bake time to 40–45 minutes.

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
