Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box White or yellow cake mix
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 cups Water
- 21 oz Cherry pie filling
- 14 oz Sweetened condensed milk
- 8 oz Whipped topping (thawed)
- 12 pieces Maraschino cherries (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tbsp Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Prepare the cake mix according to the package instructions, combining it with the eggs, vegetable oil, and water in a large bowl. Mix until smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Bake for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes throughout the cake, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes. Next, spread the cherry pie filling evenly across the surface.
Cover the cake and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the cake to become extra moist.
Once the cake is chilled, spread the whipped topping evenly over the top.
Optionally, garnish with maraschino cherries and a dusting of powdered sugar before serving.
Slice into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy your delicious Cherry Pie Poke Cake!
