Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box Angel food cake mix
- 1.25 cups Water
- 1 can (21 ounces) Cherry pie filling
- 2 cups Whipped topping (thawed)
- 12 whole Maraschino cherries (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the angel food cake mix with 1.25 cups of water. Mix according to the package instructions, typically for 1 minute on low speed followed by 1-2 minutes on medium speed until the batter is light and fluffy.
Pour the batter evenly into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan. Smooth out the top with a spatula.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and springs back when lightly touched.
Immediately invert the tube pan onto a cooling rack and allow the cake to cool completely, about 1-2 hours. Do not remove the cake from the pan until it is fully cooled.
While the cake cools, prepare the cherry fluff frosting. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, fold together the cherry pie filling, whipped topping, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Once the cake is completely cooled, use a knife to loosen the edges and gently remove it from the pan. Place it on a serving plate or cake stand.
Generously frost the cake with the cherry fluff frosting, spreading evenly over the top and sides of the cake.
Optional: Garnish the cake by placing whole maraschino cherries around the top or center of the cake for decoration.
Refrigerate the cake for at least 30 minutes to allow the frosting to set. Serve chilled and enjoy!
