Chocolate Cherry Sheet Cake sliced on a sheet pan

I could go on and on telling you how good this cake is but clearly you can see that….chocolate-cherry-cake…there is nothing here that is not to love! And wait until you hear how easy it is!

But before we dive into this recipe, a little background for your reading pleasure.  Music please!  This recipe is the 27th Pillsbury Bake Off Winner!  It is royalty in the baking world.  So where did I find this little gem?  I’d love to tell  you I spent hours looking up all 52 Pillsbury Bake off Winners…but nope.  There is an easier way.    A wonderful blog called Mom Loves Baking.  This gal baked all 52 winning Pillsbury Bake Off recipes in 52 weeks!  Kinda like a Julie Julia thing without all the fussy frenchie stuff.    Super cool.  Loved reading her commentary and experience.  This Chocolate Cherry Cake recipe was by far her favorite recipe of all 52. So I’d say thats a pretty good recommendation!

How to make Chocolate Cherry Sheet Cake

Store bought cake mix and a can of cherry pie filling are the main ingredients, the rest is a pretty short list. I have been told, by all those I shared this lucious cake with, (and I shared a lot..it’s a big cake!) that it was some of the best chocolate cake they have had!

The original recipe was called Chocolate Cherry “Bars” but I renamed it “Sheet Cake” (see chubby little fingers making quote marks),  because I am currently obsessed with cooking everything on “Sheet Pans”.  So far I’ve made Sheet Pan Fajitas and Crispy Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner…both are doing pretty well so why quit this sheet now?  I’m gonna run with it!  Next sheety recipe is undetermined at this time but there will be more sheet…there is always more sheet!

Enjoy! And apologies for the sheet jokes – the opportunity is just too much for this Laughing Spatula to pass up!  If you can’t stand the sheet, get out of the…well you know 🙂
