1 box chocolate cake mix because homemade is overrated when we’re feeling lazy 1 can cherry pie filling because fresh cherries are expensive and we don’t have time for pitting 1 cup dark chocolate chips extra chocolate = extra love 1 cup whipped cream for that fancy finish ½ cup kirsch cherry brandy, aka the grown-up magic potion ¼ cup cocoa powder for that deep, dark, mysterious richness ¼ cup maraschino cherries because every diva deserves a cherry on top
Preheat that oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish—unless you enjoy scraping cake out of a pan with a chisel.
Dump the cake mix straight into the baking dish. Smooth it out like you totally planned this.
Spoon that luscious cherry pie filling evenly over the cake mix—no need for perfection, we’re embracing the chaos.
Sprinkle the dark chocolate chips on top like a generous chocolate fairy.
Drizzle that kirsch all over like you’re the bartender of your own dessert.
Dust with cocoa powder because, darling, we’re fancy like that.
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until your kitchen smells like a European bakery and the cake is set.
