For a richer flavor, use a butter pecan cake mix instead of yellow cake mix. Add a handful of sliced almonds on top before baking for extra crunch and nutty flavor. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent dessert.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a small bowl, stir 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract into each can of cherry pie filling, enhancing the cherry flavor with a delicate almond note. (3 minutes)
03
StepPour both cans of almond-infused cherry pie filling into the prepared baking dish, spreading them evenly across the bottom. Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the cherry filling, ensuring a uniform layer. (5 minutes)
04
StepUsing a cheese grater, grate the cold butter over the top of the cake mix, distributing it as evenly as possible. This will create a beautifully textured and golden-brown topping. (7 minutes)
05
StepBake in the preheated oven until the topping is golden brown and the cherry filling is bubbling, approximately 50 to 60 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean. (55 minutes)
