This is the easiest Crumb Cake you will ever make! I love recipes that I don’t have to buy special ingredients for or plan an afternoon making. Mix together, bake, and serve this amazing cherry cake.
Also try Triple Layer Cherry Brownies or Strawberry Crumble Cookie Bars.
Ingredients
For the cake
- 1 package Yellow Cake mix 18 oz, or from scratch
- 1 cup flour
- 1 packet yeast
- ⅔ cup warm water
- 2 eggs medium sized
- 2 cans Cherry Pie filling 21 oz
- ½ cup butter
For the Sugar Glaze
- 1 cup powered sugar
- 3 teaspoons milk
Step by Step
Start Preparation- Preheat the oven to 350° F (180° C).
- Measure 2 cups of the cake mix and combine with the separate flour and yeast.
- Add the water and stir. Now add the eggs and stir again. It will be a thick, sticky glob – just get it all blended together. Let it sit for 10 mins for the yeast to activate.
- Use the back of a spatula to flatten the mix into the bottom of a greased 9×13" pan.
- Open the 2 cans of cherry pie filling and add it on top of the cake batter to the pan.
- In a separate bowl, combine the rest of the cake mix with the butter and mash with a fork. Use your fingers to combine until it forms a crumbly dough. Think about making biscuits – it is kinda like that.
- Then sprinkle the butter-flour mixture evenly over the cherry filling and bake at 350° F for 40 – 45 minutes.
- Let cool on a wire rack for a few minutes.
- In the meantime make the glaze: Mix powdered sugar with the milk and stir until smooth. Drizzle over the warm cake and serve!

I just made this with lemon cake mix and black and blueberry pie filling. I will let you know if it turns out after we eat it tonight!
Thanks for the reply. I used way too much yeast then. I'm anxious to try the recipe again.
What kind of yeast do you use? What size packet? Also, you say to use 1 package (18 oz) of yellow cake mix. All the cake mix at the store were 15 or 16 oz. So which is it? I made this over the weekend…and it was OK, but I think it would be better if I knew the specifics of what the recipe should be. thanks.
One packet is 1/4 of an ounce or 2 1/4 tsp. Yes, the cake manufacturers have the quantities of the box mixes. Just use a box mix that you have. I don't know if reducing the yeast would change anything.
Do you use quick rise or active dry yeast??
Making it right now! As soon as the meatballs get done, this baby is going in the oven! Hogfarmer hubby is going to be surprised to get a treat like this on a Tuesday night!
I hope he (and you) liked it! Thanks for visiting!
All of the cherries were ripe on my tree in the backyard, so I was looking for an easy recipe with things I already have, this was perfect! It is in the oven right now, I can't wait to try it!
Ripe Cherries! I'm jealous! I bet the fresh cherries were so much better than canned cherries!

Oh, Yummmm! I have to make these! I am a huge cherry pie/cobbler/anything fan! If there was a way to do it, I'd be reaching right through cyberspace and snagging the whole plate. LOL Thanks for sharing it!
Yum! Those look awesome!! I love that you use a cake mix!! Thanks for linking up to 2 Maids a Baking!!
That looks amazing and it has my favorite pie filling as a topping. Yummy!
Oh my, this cobble looks amazing. I got hungry as soon as I saw the picture.
Well, that was the point 🙂 To get hungry. Success!
This look delicious! Thanks for sharing at Beautify If Monday!
That looks SOOO good. I don't think I've ever heard of cobbler with yeast. I might have to try this one.:)
Wow, this looks absolutely incredible! And that glaze is so inviting. I can definitely get on board with this 🙂
thanks, the glaze is just powered sugar and milk. no secret in that. Just have to get the right consistency and know when enough is, that's the tricky part.
Looks great!
so want to try this, yummy!
It's fast and easy. Your family will love it!
The cobbler looks amazing. Thanks so much for sharing at Mix it up Monday 🙂
I've done this with Bisquick (before they had to disclose the trans fats) and it worked out great!
Ooohhh your cobbler looks so yummy! I love simple recipes like this, especially using different fruits (and when I can get them in a can, I can make them all year round!). Thanks for sharing!
Your cobbler looks deeeeelicious, especially the topping!
Thanks 🙂 I owe it all to Picasa. Haha I could not believe how easy it was.
