    Ingredients 

    For the cake

    • 1 package Yellow Cake mix 18 oz, or from scratch
    • 1 cup flour
    • 1 packet yeast
    • 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

    Instructions 

    • 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!

    5. 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!

    6. 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.

      1. 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.

    7. 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!
