Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box white cake mix
- 3 large eggs
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 cups whipped topping
- 0.25 cup slivered almonds
- 2 tablespoons chocolate shavings
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and sour cream. Use an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes, or mix by hand until the batter is smooth and well combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Open the can of cherry pie filling and spoon evenly over the cake batter. Do not mix; the cherries will naturally settle into the batter as it bakes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean (avoid the cherry-filled areas when testing). Remove from the oven and cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Fold in the whipped topping until well incorporated.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled cake.
If desired, sprinkle the top with slivered almonds and chocolate shavings for an elegant touch.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the topping to set. Slice and enjoy!
