Equipment
- 1 9" x 13" baking dish or pan
Ingredients
- 2 21-ounce cans cherry pie filling
- 1 box box almond cake mix or yellow cake mix, if you’re feeling like a rebel
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted (liquid gold)
- 1/2 cup Amaretto liqueur the secret ingredient and your reward for baking
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds for that extra crunch and fanciness
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This is where the magic happens.
- Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish—trust me, nothing ruins the moment like cake that won’t let go.
- Dump the cherry pie filling into the dish and spread it out like you’re frosting a cake with the enthusiasm of a caffeinated baker.
- Pour the Amaretto over the cherries and take a moment to enjoy the divine scent—this is the aroma of happiness.
- Sprinkle the cake mix evenly over the cherries, trying not to let it clump. We’re going for a blanket of cake, not islands.
- Drizzle the melted butter over the cake mix, making sure to cover every little corner—no dry cake here!
- Sprinkle the sliced almonds on top for that lovely crunch and a bit of elegance.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown and bubbly. Serve warm, and don’t be surprised if you find yourself doing a little happy dance—this cake has that effect.
