Chocolate Strawberry Pie Cake - Chocolate cake mix and strawberry pie filling combine to make one amazing dessert!! Top the cake with a quick homemade chocolate frosting. Chocolate cake mix, strawberry pie filling, eggs, milk, vanilla, chocolate chips sugar, and butter. This cake is the most requested cake I make! I have to bring it to all of the potlucks I'm invited to. It is always the first dessert to go and everyone asks for the recipe! Make it today!
Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 9×13 inch pan. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine cake mix, pie filling, vanilla extract, eggs and milk. Mix with an electric mixer just until combined.
Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool.
Frosting
In a small saucepan, combine sugar, butter, and milk. Bring to a boil. Continue boiling for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Remove pan from heat and stir in chocolate chips until smooth. Immediately pour over cooled cake. Cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes:
I used a hand-held mixer to mix up the cake batter. Using a mixer will break up the strawberries in the pie filling. If you want bigger chunks of strawberries in the cake, mix the cake batter by hand.
Feel free to stir in some chopped fresh strawberries and chocolate chips into the cake batter. It really puts the cake over the top!
The cake can be made a day or two in advance and stored in an air-tight container. I just pop the lid on top of my pyrex glass baking dish and it is good to go.
