Ingredients

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup cola
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup cherry pie filling
Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Whipped cream or ice cream for serving (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the cola, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Fold in the cherry pie filling gently.
Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
