Cherry Upside Down Cake~Bonnie Dare's Recipe

I saw this cake on justapinch.com and thought wow! Looks so yummy and its so easy! This is something I can make for dessert on a week night when time is limited! So I decided to try it last night...Needless to say there is one helping left and my family loves it! Thanks Bonnie it truly is Delish!!

 

The cherries start off on the top and sink to the bottom while baking, the top stays white as snow : )

1 box of white cake mix (or chocolate or yellow)

2 cans of cherry pie filling (i like ruby red)

whipped cream to taste.

Cook's Tip: I found that in my oven, it took about 50 minutes for the cake to get done. I tented it with foil to slow the browning. Check with a tooth pick in the middle and if it comes clean, it is done. Cake will pull away from the sides of the pan.

PREPARE THE CAKE:

In a large mixing bowl, place the cake mix and the ingredients according to the directions on the box. Grease a 9x13 inch metal pan with Pam. Pour the batter in the pan.

Spoon pie filling, about 2 or 3 cherries at a time, evenly distributed over the batter. All the cherries and filling will sink to the bottom while it is baking. (I know, it is hard to believe, but trust me, it is true!)

BAKE THE CAKE:

Place the cake in the oven and bake according to the package directions. Note that it may take more than the time indicated. Use the toothpick test to check if it is done. Cool the cake 15 minutes, then flip over on a foil lined tray. Cut into 12 slices to serve. Top with a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy!
