Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
- 2 cans (21 oz each) cherry pie filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Spread both cans of cherry pie filling evenly into the bottom of the dish.
- In a bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth; mix in vanilla extract.
- Spoon dollops of the cream cheese mixture over the cherry pie filling.
- Evenly sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix over the top.
- Drizzle melted butter over the cake mix, covering as much as possible.

Notes
- Try swapping cherry pie filling for apple, blueberry, or peach for variety.
- For added crunch, sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts on top before baking.
