Last night I invited my friends over for a My Favorite Things party. It’s an awesome excuse to get together and hang out but it’s also an awesome time to try out new recipes and share! So I decided to try my hands at a new-to-me combination… boxed cake mix and pie filling! This easy black forest cake needed 3 things… boxed Devil’s Food cake mix prepared as directed on the box, a can of cherry pie filling, and some whipped cream to top it.
Not only was this recipe easy, it was delicious too! And I’m pretty sure I’ll be trying out a few more combinations of cake and pie filling very, very soon. Spiced cake and apple pie filling anyone?
If you are heading to a get together or need a quick dessert to make that’ll have everyone asking how you did it, try this one out! And come back to let me know what everyone thought.
Easy Black Forest Cake
- 1 box Devil’s Food cake mix, prepared as instructed on box
- 1 can cherry pie filling
- 1 tub Cool Whip (or homemade whipped cream)
- maraschino cherries (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Take prepared batter and pour into a greased 9×13 pan. Dump can of pie filling on top of prepared batter.
Bake in the oven for 33-38 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Mine took about 35 minutes.
Let cool completely. Before serving, top with whipped cream and enjoy! Add a few maraschino cherries to the top for a completed look or simply leave it as is.
What a fun and easy idea! My hubby loves Black Forest Cake, but I never make it… might have to surprise him with this one!
OH WOW! It IS easy! I can’t wait to try this! It’s the perfect potluck dessert!
Looks SO yummy! You make it seem so easy, too!
This looks wonderful! I have a similar cake that I make and everyone goes nuts for it.
I think I’m going to try this tonight, but place the devil’s food with brownies =)
YUM!!
That sounds fabulous! I’m sure it’ll taste just as good if not better.
Yum, looks delicious and I love how easy it is!
Wow. You’re going to make me look like a hero this coming “Dessert Night!” It will look as if I slaved for hours over this cake but it will be our little secret. Shhhh…..
Exactly… I won’t tell if you won’t!
I’m ready to start pulling out the pumpkin recipes!
This looks yummy! I’ve never tried box cake/pudding mixed before
This looks yummy but even moreso looks really easy to make, love it!
I love recipes that are that simple to make! Looks amazing!
I’m going to make it into cupcakes, and use real whip cream with a cherry on top! for a Girls lunch I’m having! Thanks for the Idea! 🙂
Great idea! I’m sure they’ll turn out amazingly.
