Cherry Chocolate Cake

Cake:

1 box chocolate cake mix	2 eggs
1 can Comstock cherry pie filling	1 tsp vanilla extract

Icing:

1 cup sugar	5 Tbs butter
1/3 cup milk	1 6oz package semi-sweet chocolate chips

Heat oven to 350.

Mix all cake ingredients, stir by hand until completely moistened. Turn into sprayed 9x13 cake pan and bake for 35 minutes. Allow to cool.

In a small saucepan, combine sugar, butter and milk. Bring to a boil. Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate chips. Blend until smooth. Frost cake promptly, before icing sets.

If you find the icing to be a bit grainy (which may be a problem if you use a glass saucepan and have reflective silver burner pans under your burner), reduce the boiling time to 45 seconds the next time you make the cake.
