INGREDIENTS

Cake:
1 box chocolate or devil's food cake mix
3 Eggs
1 bag semi-sweet chocolate chips ; minus 1 cup for the gan

Servings

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Mix together the cake mix, eggs, chocolate chips, and almond extract. Fold and mix the cherry pie filling in last so as not to accidently puree them.

3. Pour into a non-stick or greased and floured bundt pan.

4. Bake 40-50 minutes till toothpick comes out clean.

5. Cool in pan for 25 minutes, not necessary to invert while cooling.

6. After you plate the cake make the ganache. Using a saucepan on low heat mix and melt all the ganache ingredients together. Pour and coat the cake. If you miss a spot it will still spread pretty easily for a bit and usually self-levels pretty well.

7. Stays good for a day unrefrigerated but I would refrigerate after that. This moist decadent cake won't usually last longer than a day anyway.

Its hard to make this one light especially with all the chocolate, but you could use light pie filling and egg substitute without any difficulty. You can easily experiment with other fruit pie fillings blueberry and chocolate worked well. Also white or yellow cake mix is good with most fruit but if you use apple you should cut it up a bit and add some cinnamon. I haven't tried a carrot cake mix but I suspect it would work well with apple pie filling. If you want to do a ganache on non-chocolate use white chocolate chips instead. I don't think I would add the white chocolate chips in the cake though, but have fun and experiment. [I posted this recipe.]
