Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 21 oz Cherry pie filling
- 3 cups Marshmallows (mini)
- 1 box Yellow cake mix
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 2 tbsp Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Evenly spread the cherry pie filling across the bottom of the baking dish.
Scatter the mini marshmallows on top of the cherry pie filling, ensuring they form an even layer.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Mix until smooth and no lumps remain.
Pour the cake batter evenly over the marshmallow and cherry layers in the baking dish.
Dot the top of the batter with small pats of butter to enhance moisture and flavor.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for at least 20-30 minutes. The marshmallows will have melted into the cherry layer, creating a magic gooey effect.
Optional: Dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar before serving for a touch of elegance.
