Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling
- 1 (15.25 ounce) box yellow cake mix (dry, do not prepare)
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup chopped pecans (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Pour the entire can of cherry pie filling into the bottom of the prepared dish. Spread it evenly.
- Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the cherry filling layer. Do not stir or mix.
- Pour the melted butter evenly over the dry cake mix layer.
- If using, sprinkle the chopped pecans over the top.
- Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly around the edges.
- Let the cake cool slightly before serving warm, perhaps with vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- For a slightly different flavor, substitute the yellow cake mix with white or almond cake mix.
- If you prefer a richer topping, use brown sugar instead of pecans on top of the butter.
- This recipe works well in a slow cooker on low for 3 to 4 hours; do not cover the slow cooker lid tightly.
