Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F.

Grease a 9″x13″ casserole dish and set aside.

In a medium sized bowl, combine the cake mix, cherry pie filling, eggs and almond extract. Beat for 2

minutes until well combined and fluffy.

Fold the cake batter into the prepared casserole dish and smooth down with the back of a spoon.

Bake for 28-32 minutes, until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

Once the cake is completely cooled, spread the Cool Whip overtop in an even layer.

Position the maraschino cherries evenly in a grid pattern on top of the cake to suggest the 12 servings.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Maraschino Magic 🍒
Pat maraschino cherries completely dry before folding into the batter to prevent color bleeding and maintain cake texture.
Almond Extract Precision 🥄
Use pure almond extract sparingly - just a few drops can elevate the flavor without overwhelming the cake's delicate profile.
Box Mix Upgrade 🎂
Replace water with whole milk in the cake mix for a richer, more tender crumb that tastes more like a from-scratch cake.
Cherry Distribution Technique 🌀
Gently fold cherry pie filling into the batter in a swirling motion to create beautiful marble-like color variations throughout the cake.
Whipped Topping Pro Tip 🍨
Chill your mixing bowl and whisk beforehand to help whipped topping hold its shape longer and create a more stable, fluffy texture.
