Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 (21-ounce) can cherry pie filling
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round baking pans.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  • Stir in boiling water until the batter is well combined. The batter will be thin.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow cakes to cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

  • Optionally, melt chocolate chips and drizzle over the top of the cake before serving.

Notes

  • For added richness, serve with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
