Ingredients

  • Baking Spray with flour to grease Bundt pan Or use vegetable oil.
  • 1 8-ounce package cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 box (15.25 ounces) triple chocolate fudge cake mix Or use chocolate cake mix.
  • 1 can (20 ounces) cherry pie filling Use for garnish (optional).
  • powdered sugar Use for garnish (optional).

Instructions

  • Use a folded paper towel soaked in vegetable oil to thoroughly grease a standard-sized bundt pan. Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • In large bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. With mixer on low speed, mix together until well combined (about 1 minute). Mixture will be thin.
  • Add unsalted/melted butter, water and cake mix. With mixer on low speed, mix together just until combined (about 2 minutes). Batter will be thick and creamy. Set aside.
  • Spoon batter into prepared Bundt pan. Smooth top with back of spoon. Batter will not fill pan. Allows room for cake to rise.
  • Bake on 40-45 minutes OR until top springs back when lightly pressed. Or press a knife in center all the way down touching bottom. If it comes out clean, cake is done. A toothpick is too short. Only pierces top.
  • Cool 30 minutes before turning out onto a large plate. Delicious warm.
  • MUCH BETTER after 24 hours in fridge. Place cooled cake in a container with a tight lid. Place in fridge (not freezer). Enjoy cold!
  • Pour cherry pie filling into a small bowl. Place in center of cake before serving. Makes a lovely presentation. Top individual servings with a small scoop for those who prefer it.
  • Before serving, sprinkle top of cake with powdered sugar (optional).
