Ingredients
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling
- 0.75 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
Step 3
Add the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix until smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Gently fold in the cherry pie filling, being careful not to overmix; you want whole cherries visible in the batter.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
Step 6
Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top of the cake batter.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Serve the cake on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat. Enjoy!
