Yesterday we decided to have some friends over for dinner. Lasagna Soup was on the menu. Nothing fancy. So we threw together a salad, toasted some bread, and grabbed a bottle of wine. But I still needed a dessert. I decided on the fly I would make the evening an "impromtu" Valentine's Dinner. That meant I needed a Sweetheart of a dessert. Nothing makes me think of Valentine's Day more than chocolate and cherries. This super simple dessert recipe only has 4 ingredients! A quick dessert with a fancy result.

| Chocolate Cherry Sweetheart Cakes... Only 4 ingredients! |
 |
| Place cake mix and pie filling in a mixing bowl. |
 |
| Beat eggs with a fork. |
 |
| Add beaten eggs to mixing bowl and beat with mixer until combined. |
 |
| Stir in chopped nuts. |
 |
| Place in greased pan. In this case I used this cute little mini cupcake-style pan. The indentation in the top of the cake is the perfect place for whipped cream! |
 |
| Cool completely and serve with fresh whipped cream. Or frost with frosting if you desire. |
