Cherry Sheet Cake

 

15.25 ounce box white cake mix

21 ounce can cherry pie filling

4 large eggs

 

½ cup butter at room temperature

8 ounces cream cheese at room temperature

4 to 5 cups powdered sugar (aka confectioners) sifted

1 to 2 T.  heavy whipping cream

2 tsp. pure vanilla extract use clear extract to prevent discoloration

 

Spray a 12×17-inch sheet pan or a 9x-13-inch cake pan with nonstick spray. Preheat your oven to 350°F.

Pour the cake mix into a large bowl. Puree the cherry pie filling and pour it into the bowl with the cake mix.

Break your eggs into a separate bowl and whisk. Pour the whisked eggs in with the cake mix and pie filling. Stir to combine. Pour the batter into your prepared pan and spread evenly. For the sheet pan, it will bake 20 to 24 minutes. For the 9×13-inch cake pan, it will take 26 to 29 minutes. After it has cooked, allow the cake to cool completely before frosting. If you use the cream cheese frosting recipe that I provided, you’ll need to store the cake in the refrigerator. It’ll be good for 5 to 7 days in the fridge.
