Ingredients
- 1 box white cake mix
- 3 large eggs
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 cups whipped topping
- 0.25 cup slivered almonds
- 2 tablespoons chocolate shavings
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and sour cream. Use an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes, or mix by hand until the batter is smooth and well combined.
Step 3
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Step 4
Open the can of cherry pie filling and spoon evenly over the cake batter. Do not mix; the cherries will naturally settle into the batter as it bakes.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean (avoid the cherry-filled areas when testing). Remove from the oven and cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Step 6
In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Fold in the whipped topping until well incorporated.
Step 7
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled cake.
Step 8
If desired, sprinkle the top with slivered almonds and chocolate shavings for an elegant touch.
Step 9
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the topping to set. Slice and enjoy!
