Ingredients

  • 21 ounces cherry pie filling
  • 30 ounces crushed pineapple not drained
  • 15.25 ounces white cake mix
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • ½ cup walnuts chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray a 9x13 baking dish. 
  • Dump cherry pie filling and crushed pineapple into the baking dish. Stir to combine evenly.
  • Sprinkle cake mix powder over the fruit mixture.
  • Melt butter in a microwave safe bowl. Drizzle over cake mix as evenly as possible to try and cover the entire top. It's ok if a few spots are left uncovered. Sprinkle with chopped nuts.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F for 45- 50 min or until fruit is bubbling and cake is a light golden brown. Remove from oven and cool on a cooling rack.
  • Serve warm or room temperature with ice cream or whipping cream.

Notes

  • Make sure that you make even layer of the cake mix over the fruit. That way, all the cake has a topping. 
  • I recommend making sure you use butter, not margarine. Melt it and drizzle as evenly as possible to make sure you don’t have unmixed cake powder.
  • You can change up the fruit in this recipe if cherry and pineapple aren’t your thing. Just be sure to have the same volume of fruit as this recipe.
  • If you are feeling lucky, consider using a chocolate cake instead of vanilla or yellow.
  • For a richer flavor, add 2 teaspoons of almonds extract to the fruit mix.
  • If you don’t have a can of cherry pie filling, make it homemade!
  • Nuts are optional, but they do add a lot of delicious flavor to the cake. I like chopped pecans with this too!
