Ingredients

  • 1 Box White Cake Mix
  • 15 oz Cherry Pie Filling
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 tsp Almond Extract can use vanilla, if desired
  • 2 cups Cool Whip
  • 12 Maraschino Cherries

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. Grease a 9"x13" casserole dish and set aside.
  3. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cake mix, cherry pie filling, eggs and almond extract. Beat for 2 minutes until well-combined and fluffy.
  4. Fold the cake batter into the prepared casserole dish and smooth down with the back of a spoon.
  5. Bake for 28-32 minutes, until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Once the cake is completely cooled, spread the Cool Whip overtop in an even layer.
  7. Position the maraschino cherries evenly in a grid pattern on top of the cake to suggest the 12 servings.

Recipe Notes

This cake stays fresh for up to 3 days when stored in the refrigerator. Just cover it tightly with plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container to keep it moist and flavorful.
