I have boxed cake mix, although do I add the additional box ingredients of 3 eggs, milk and butter?

In reply to Kathrin. You're a winner Kathrin! I love that you improvised and made it your own. Thank you so much for feedback and for sharing your tips for converting this into a bundt!

I googled for a chocolate cake mix with cherries and this is what popped up. Wow! It turned out great! I made it for a friend’s birthday cake and wanted it to be a little dressier than a sheet cake so I baked it in a bundt cake pan. I looked up the timing based on bundt cakes and found 40 to 45 min. I checked after 40 and decided to let it go for the full 45 hoping that would help it release from the pan. I let it cool for 10 min, turned it over, and it fell right out! Perfect!! I put a caramel glaze on it.

This is my new go to birthday cake! I am making a second one less than a week later! Thank you!

In reply to Abby. Yes, 9x13 is the right size!

In the picture this looks like a sheet cake thickness. Same for your lemon poppyseed cake. 9×13 Is the correct size right?

In reply to Marlene. That has happened to me if I'm too impatient to let the butter come to room temperature. A chocolate butter cream would be delicious too!

Made recipe for chocolate cherry cake, but made cupcakes instead of sheet cake. It was very good-moist & great chocolate flavor. Was very disappointed, however, with frosting recipe. It had a curdled appearance & no amount of beating, addition of more milk or confectioners sugar could resolve that appearance. It was more pronounced as I tried to pipe it thru a decorator bag. Will not use this recipe again. A plain chocolate butter cream using butter, cocoa & confectioners sugar produces a much better texture & is equally tasty.
