THIS IS A REALLY GOOD CAKE AND IT DOESNT USE EGGS OR MILK...BUT IT IS STILL A LITTLE HIGH IN FAT..ANYONE REALLY GOOD AT ALTERING RECIPES????
1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups white sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

Well, it's not THAT high in fat -- only 27%. You could cut the oil in half and add in applesauce for that half.
Sounds yummy -- I might just have to give it a try. Thanks!

Yeah, just use 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce, and 1/4 cup oil and you should be fine.
But, make sure to check the ingredients on your pie filling to make sure they don't put anything yucky in there (HFCS, artificial stuff).

Mmm, this sounds great! I'll have to try this with 1/2 applesauce!
