Ingredients
Instructions
- Pour 2 cans of cherry pie filling into a 9 by 13 inch pan.
- Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the cherry pie filling.

- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 40 minutes or until golden and bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of almond extract to the cherry pie filling. If you're out of 7-Up, lemon-lime soda or even ginger ale can work as a substitute. Make sure to evenly distribute the cake mix to avoid clumps, and for a fun twist, try layering in some chopped nuts or coconut for added texture. This cake is a delightful variation of traditional American recipes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh cherries instead of cherry pie filling?
Yes, you can use fresh cherries! Just make sure to sweeten them slightly, as pie filling is usually sweetened. Add a bit of sugar and a tablespoon of cornstarch to help thicken the mixture as it bakes.
What can I serve with 7-Up Cobbler Cake?
This cake is delicious on its own, but you can enhance the experience by serving it with a side of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. For a complete meal, consider pairing it with a light salad or even the Vegetable Cheese Bake for a balanced dinner.
How do I know when the cake is done baking?
The cake is done when it’s golden brown on top and bubbly around the edges. You can also insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Keep an eye on it after about 35 minutes to prevent overbaking.
