2cupchocolate chipssemi sweet/milk/dark – whatever you prefer
1/2cupheavy cream
Instructions
First, start off by preheating your oven to 350 degrees and prepare a bundt pan with nonstick spray.
Now in a large bowl combine the cake mix, chocolate pudding mix, greek yogurt, oil and eggs, and mix until well combined.
Add half of the batter into the bundt pan. Using a spoon, push the sides up in the middle and outer edge to create a well in the middle.
Spoon the cherry pie filling into the well, using the spoon spread it all the way around, and make sure it’s filled but not so full it touches the edges of the pan.
Add in the remaining cake batter to cover the cherry pie filling and spread it across the top, sealing the sides of your cake.
Bake the cake bake for 45-50 minutes.
Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes and then invert onto a cooling rack to completely cool.
Now make the ganache by simmering the heavy cream on the stove just until it’s ready to boil.
Place the chocolate chips into a bowl, pour the heated cream over the top and allow it to sit for a few minutes.
Mix the two together until a nice thick ganache is made and pour over the cake.
Once the cake is cooled top with ganache, whipped cream, then top with fresh or jarred cherries.
