Black Forest Cherry Cake
"CHOCOLATE, CHERRIES, and COCONUT!!! These 3 make a very tasty dessert! Made into a sheet cake which easily cuts into pretty squares. An additional can of cherry pie filling made be used for topping. Best made a day ahead for flavors to meld. Use regular cake mix without pudding."

We don't like coconut so I left it out and subbed in chopped walnuts. Very simple recipe that looks great. I also put some walnuts and cherry pieces on top of the cool whip and added a chocolate drizzle. -
I made this cake for my father-in-law's birthday and it was so good! I left out the coconut because I don't like it and I loved the way it turned out! -
Very, very good. I love cherry pie filling used in different things so this attracted me right away. The cake was so moist. I made it the way you said to do it but would leave out the coconut next time only because my hubby didn't care for the coconut in it. I liked it though. I will make this again. I may even try it with a white cake mix. It would be very pretty too. Even apple pie filling with a spice cake. Anyways, it was yummy and it is in my cookbook to stay. Thanks so much for sharing.
