This fun chocolate and cherry filled bundt cake comes together in a snap and is so much fun to serve and eat. It was one of the recipes that my mom had loaded and ready in the recipe box she gave me and it is a family favorite!
It is a super simple recipe to make as it is semi-homemade. Start with a box of mix and add some of the usual suspects. Then stir in a can of cherry pie filling and a bunch of chocolate chips and you are ready to throw it in the oven. It doesn’t get much easier than that!
