Ingredients
– 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling
– 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup powdered sugar
– 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
– 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted
– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Whipped cream (for serving, optional)
Equipment Needed
– 9×13 inch baking dish
– Mixing bowls
– Electric mixer (or whisk)
– Rubber spatula
– Measuring cups and spoons
Step-by-Step Instructions
First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while you gather your ingredients. Start by spreading the cherry pie filling evenly across the bottom of your greased 9×13 baking dish. The vibrant red of the cherries always makes my heart skip a beat! In a separate mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until the mixture is nice and smooth. It’s so rich and creamy, and the smell is divine!
