Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 (21 oz) can cherry pie filling
  • 1 (15.25 oz) box devil’s food or chocolate cake mix
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the cherry pie filling evenly in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. Sprinkle the dry cake mix over the cherries, then drizzle the melted butter on top, covering the mix as much as possible. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the top is set and the edges bubble.
  3. Let the cake cool for 10 minutes, then scoop into bowls while still warm.

Notes

The top stays crisp for an hour or two, then softens once refrigerated. For the crunchiest finish, bake it just before serving. Leftovers reheat well in a low oven, though the texture won’t be exactly the same.
