Ingredients

  • 1 box white cake mix for a 9x13-inch pan
  • ½ cup water
  • ⅓ cup oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 21 ounces cherry pie filling 1 can of pie filling

Glaze- if desired

  • 1½ cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • ½ teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Flour and grease your cake pan. Then, mix together the cake mix, oil, eggs, and water until combined. Then evenly spread the cake batter into the prepared pan.
  • Take your cherry pie filling and dollop it on top of the batter. It will seem like a lot of filling, but trust me. It's perfect! Then take a knife and drag it through the batter up and down, lengthwise and widthwise. This will swirl our pie filling into the batter.
  • Bake that cake in an oven preheated to 350°F for 30-35 minutes. Stick a toothpick into the mostly cake batter part and make sure it comes out clean. If the top is browning too fast, lay a sheet of foil on top of the cake to reduce the brwoning as the rest of the cake bakes. The cake will fall a touch as it cools.
  • For the glaze, whisk all ingredients together and drizzle on the cooled cherry brunch cake. If needed, add milk more a bit at a time until it's drizzling consitantcy.
