Total Time: 1 hrs 21 mins

Ingredients
1 package devil's food cake mix

1 (12 ounce) can cherry pie filling

3 eggs

⅓ cup vegetable oil

1 cup white sugar

5 tablespoons butter

⅓ cup milk

6 ounces chocolate chips

Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2
Combine cake mix, cherry pie filling, eggs, and oil in a large bowl with an electric mixer on low speed until moistened,
about 30 seconds. Beat at medium speed until a light and fluffy batter forms, about 2 minutes. Pour batter into prepared
baking dish.

Step 3
Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 26 to 30 minutes. Cool in the pans for
10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 4
Heat sugar, butter, and milk together in a saucepan over medium heat. Simmer, stirring constantly, until smooth and
thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, add chocolate chips, and stir until dissolved. Set aside to cool and
thicken to icing consistency, about 20 minutes.

Step 5
Poke holes in top of cake. Pour chocolate icing over cake, allowing it to run down edges of cake.

Cook's Notes:
Critical to make sure the chocolate icing is cool enough to easily pour, but doesn't run off the cake too much. If done
right, you should have a pretty thick icing that you do not have to spread.
