Ingredients
  

  • 1 can cherry pie filling 21 oz
  • 1 package cream cheese softened, 8 oz
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 box yellow cake mix 15.25 oz
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans optional

Equipment

  • Medium bowl
  • 9x13-inch Baking Dish
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  3. Step 3: Spread the cherry pie filling evenly on the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  4. Step 4: Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the cherry filling, making sure to spread it out a bit.
  5. Step 5: In another bowl, combine the yellow cake mix with the melted butter and sour cream. Stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix!
  6. Step 6: Pour the cake batter over the cream cheese and cherry layers, spreading it evenly.
  7. Step 7: If you're feeling fancy, sprinkle chopped pecans on top of the cake batter for a nice crunch.
  8. Step 8: Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Step 9: Allow the cake to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy it warm or chilled—both ways are heavenly!
