Ingredients
2 (21 ounce) cans cherry pie filling
1 box (15.25 ounce) yellow cake mix
1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter, melted or thinly sliced
1 teaspoon almond extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350F degrees.
Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly with nonstick cooking spray.
Divide the 1 teaspoon of almond extract into two equal portions.
Stir half a teaspoon of almond extract into each can of cherry pie filling until well combined.
Pour both cans of prepared cherry filling into your baking dish and spread them into an even layer.
Sprinkle the contents of the yellow cake mix evenly over the layer of cherries.
Drizzle the melted butter slowly and evenly over the surface of the dry cake mix.
Bake the dish for 50 to 60 minutes until the top reaches a deep, golden brown color.
Notes
Ensure the cake mix is spread evenly to avoid dry powdery patches. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
