Number Of Ingredients 14

2 c all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 c cocoa powder, unsweetened
1 1/4 c sugar
large pinch cinnamon
1/2 - 1 Tbsp instant coffee granules
2 eggs
1/2 c butter or magerine, melted
1 c sour milk*
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 (21 oz) can(s) cherry pie filling
--- a handful of chocolate chips lightly coated with cocoa powder (optional)
--- (another can of cherry pie filling for topping if desired)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously grease a 9x13 pan.
  • 2. In a large bowl whisk together flour, soda, salt and cocoa until loose (takes the place of sifting). Add sugar, cinnamon and coffee. Whisk well.
  • 3. Add in eggs, butter, sour milk and vanilla. Mix well using a spoon. Add cherry pie filling and continue mixing until all ingredients are wet. Fold in chocolate chips (optional). Pour mixture into prepared pan and bake for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • 4. Let cool for 20-30 minutes then spread 2nd can of cherry pie filling over top of the cake. You could use frosting or a glaze as desired.
  • 5. *Sour milk= 1 c milk + 1tsp white vinegar or lemon juice, let sit for 10-15 minutes until slightly curdled. Use in baking recipes, I use sour milk in place of sour cream or buttermilk.
