Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 can 21 oz cherry pie filling
  • 1 package 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 box 15.25 oz yellow cake mix, dry
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the sugar and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
  3. Spread the cherry pie filling in an even layer across the bottom of the prepared dish.
  4. Dollop the cream-cheese mixture over the cherries, then gently spread into an even layer without mixing down into the fruit.
  5. Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the cream-cheese layer.
  6. Drizzle the melted butter over the cake mix for even coverage.
  7. If using, scatter the chopped pecans on top and dust with the ground cinnamon.
  8. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
  9. Let the cake cool for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.
