Chocolate Cherry Cake image

I'm not sure where my mom got this recipe, but everyone in my family requests it for their birthday. I don't even care for chocolate, but this cake is absolutely fab!! I think it's the icing that makes it so great. Gotta try it!!! (Not sure about the prep. time...depends on the baking time for the cake) Make the pie filling in the shape of a heart for a great Valentine's Day cake.
