Recipes Made with Cake Mixes
Cherry Chocolate Rum Squares
Yield: 36 servings
Ingredients
Cake
- 1 (18.25 ounce) box "pudding in the mix" devil's food cake mix
- 1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling
- 1 teaspoon rum extract
- 2 eggs, beaten
Frosting
- 1 can chocolate fudge frosting
- 1/3 cup chopped pecans
- 1/4 teaspoon rum extract
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
Cake
- In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, cherry pie filling, rum extract, and eggs. Stir by hand until completely blended. Spray a 10 x 15 inch baking pan (9 x 13 inch works fine!) with cooking spray (or grease and flour it). Pour the batter into the baking pan.
- Bake for 20 to 30 minutes. It is done when a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool completely.
Frosting
- Combine the canned frosting, rum extract, and pecans. Mix well. When the cake is completely cooled, spread over the top.
Notes
* 18.25 ounce boxes of cake mix have been replaced by 16.5 ounce and 15.25 ounce boxes. To compensate for the volume loss in a 16 ounce box, whisk 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour into the dry cake mix before proceeding with the recipe. To compensate for the volume loss in a 15.25 ounce box, add 1/2 cup + 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon baking powder.
