Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

1 (15.25-ounce) package Devil's food cake mix
1 (12 ounce) can cherry pie filling
3 large eggs
⅓ cup vegetable oil
1 cup white sugar
⅓ cup milk
5 tablespoons butter
6 ounces chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Beat together 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 the prepared baking dish.
Bake in the 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 a wire rack to cool completely.
Heat together sugar, milk, and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer, stirring constantly, until smooth and thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, add chocolate chips, and stir until chocolate is melted. Set aside to cool and thicken to icing consistency, about 20 minutes.
Poke holes into the top of cake. Pour chocolate icing over cake, allowing it to run down the edges.

Recipe Tip

It's critical that the chocolate icing is cool enough to easily pour, but not run off the cake too much. If done right, you should have a pretty thick icing that you do not have to spread.

Editor's Note:

The directions for making the cake are based on Duncan Hines. Follow the instructions on the box if using a different brand.
