Step 1
Preheat oven. Spray a 13×9 pan with nonstick baking spray containing flour and set aside. {If you’re opting for a fancier presentation, use a 10" spring form pan like I did. It works beautifully!}
Step 2
In large bowl, combine cake mix, cherry pie filling and eggs. Stir together with large spoon or rubber spatula. (Do not use a mixer; it will break up the cherries).
Step 3
Pour into prepared pan. Bake at 350-degrees 30 to 40 minutes, or until cake is set.
Step 4
While cake is almost out of the oven, combine sugar, butter and milk in large saucepan.
Step 5
Bring to a boil, and then boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. {I like a thicker frosting, so I boiled mine for 2-3 minutes.}
Step 6
Remove from heat and add chocolate chips and vanilla. Stir with a wire whisk until the chips are melted and frosting is smooth.
Step 7
Pour over warm cake and spread to cover. Let cool on wire rack before serving. 16 servings.
