Effortless Chocolate Cherry Upside (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Base Layer
01 -
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
02 -
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
03 -
1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling
→ Cake Batter
04 -
3 large eggs
05 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 -
1 box chocolate cake mix
07 -
1 cup water
08 -
1/2 cup vegetable oil
# Instructions:
01 -
Get your oven going at 350°F (175°C). Butter up a 9×13-inch pan, then pour the melted butter into the bottom. Add the brown sugar evenly on top, and finish with an even layer of cherry pie filling.
02 -
Grab a large bowl and mix together the cake mix, eggs, oil, water, and vanilla. Stir until the batter is smooth and there aren’t any lumps.
03 -
Slowly pour the batter right over the cherry layer. Spread it out gently to make sure it’s even.
04 -
Bake for around 35-40 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
05 -
Let the cake sit in the pan for about 10 minutes. Place a large serving plate on top and flip it upside down. Serve warm or let it cool to room temp before digging in.
# Notes:
01 -
This dessert is a mix of gooey cherry goodness and rich chocolate cake, flipped to perfection.
02 -
Let the cake cool for a bit before flipping so the cherries don’t stick to the pan.
