Description
A quick and easy dessert made with cherries and cake mix.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (10-ounce jar) maraschino cherries (with the juice from the jar)
- 10 ounces cherry pie filling (½ of a 20-ounce can)
- 1 ½ cups boxed white cake mix (usually ½ of a standard box of cake mix)
- 4 tablespoons salted butter
- whipped cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C).
- Pour the maraschino cherries, including the juice, into a 5×7-inch baking dish. Spoon the cherry pie filling over the cherries and spread into an even layer.
- Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the cherry layer. Do not stir.
- Slice the butter thinly and place the slices evenly over the cake mix, covering as much of the surface as possible.
- Bake for about 50 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Let the cake cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm, with whipped cream or ice cream if desired.
Notes
- This dessert is best served warm.
- Feel free to add nuts or spices for flavor variation.
