Chocolate Cherry Skillet Cake



This is a super simple Pampered Chef recipe that gets rave reviews everywhere I take it! I used to do this recipe when I sold Pampered Chef...and we called it the Better than Sex cake! :-)

Ingredients:

3 eggs, separated
1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling
1/4 cup water
1/2 teaspoon almond extract (or vanilla extract if you don't have almond)
1 package (18.25 ounces) Duncan Hines dark chocolate fudge cake mix
1 jar (11.7 ounces) hot fudge ice cream topping
1/3 cup sliced almonds, toasted (if desired)
Frozen vanilla yogurt or thawed, frozen fat-free whipped topping (optional)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray Family (12-in.) Skillet with oil using Kitchen Spritzer. Separate eggs over Classic Batter Bowl using Egg Separator; set yolks aside for another use. Lightly whisk egg whites. Add pie filling, water and almond extract; mix well. Add cake mix; mix until well blended using Classic Scraper. Pour batter over bottom of skillet, spreading evenly.

2. Bake, uncovered, 25-30 minutes or until Cake Tester inserted in center comes out clean. Using Oven Mitts, carefully remove from oven to Stackable Cooling Rack; cool 10 minutes. Loosen edges of cake with Skinny Scraper. Carefully invert cake onto Round Platter or large, heat-safe serving plate.

3. Using Skinny Scraper, stir ice cream topping until smooth; carefully spread evenly over top of cake. Sprinkle almonds evenly around top edge of cake. Cut into wedges using Slice 'N Serve(R). Serve warm with frozen yogurt or whipped topping, if desired.
