Jekyll Island, GA by frances robson

Good evening and come on in for a visit and a new recipe.  I wanted to make something sweet today and the only mix I had was a German Chocolate so that was going to be the main ingredient.  I checked on Pinterest for recipes using this mix and found one called Apple German Chocolate Cake ,

It sounded so good but the only can of pie filling I had was cherry and when you live out in the country, you don't jump in the car and go to town for a can of pie filling so cherry it would be.  I didn't have walnuts either but I always have pecans for this is the South and pecans are necessary for our cooking.  This sounded like a good combination so I tried it and it is delicious.  It makes a moist, light cake and the cherry pie mix and pecans are really good so try it and let me know.



Cherry German Chocolate Cake

Ingredients
1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling
1 package (18-1/4 ounces) German chocolate cake mix
3 eggs
3/4 cup coarsely chopped pecans
1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips or regular chocolate chips chopped

Directions

Place pie filling in a blender; cover and process until the cherries are in chunks. Pour into a large bowl; add cake mix and eggs. Beat on medium speed for 5 minutes. Pour into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Sprinkle with nuts and chocolate chips.
Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack before cutting. Yield: 12-15 servings.

This is a quick and easy dessert that you will enjoy so try it and let me know what you think.  I am going to try the apple pie mix with a spice cake mix next time and I think that will be good also and will be sure and post it for you.

Ya'll be careful going home and come back to see me.

Nuff said,
