Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the entire 21 oz can of cherry pie filling evenly in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. Step 2: Open the 15.25 oz box of yellow cake mix and sprinkle it evenly over the cherry filling, covering the surface completely.
  3. Step 3: Slice 1/2 cup (1 stick) of cold unsalted butter into thin pats and distribute them evenly over the cake mix layer.
  4. Step 4: Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes until the top is golden brown and the cherry filling is bubbly around the edges.
  5. Step 5: Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream.
