1 cup white sugar
5 tablespoons butter
0.33 cup milk
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13-inch baking pan by greasing and flouring it. Gather all ingredients for the cake and frosting.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, cherry pie filling, and eggs until thoroughly mixed. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting.
To prepare the frosting, combine sugar, butter, and milk in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil while stirring constantly, then cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips until melted and the frosting is smooth.
Evenly spread the prepared chocolate frosting over the cooled chocolate cherry cake.
Slice the cake into squares and serve. Enjoy!
