A deliciously easy layered cake featuring cherry and pineapple flavors, topped with buttery cake mix and served with Cool Whip, perfect for casual gatherings and dessert lovers.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix cherry pie filling and crushed pineapple with juice; pour on the bottom of an ungreased oblong cake pan.
- Sprinkle the white cake mix evenly over the fruit mixture.
- Drizzle melted butter over the top of the cake mix.
- Bake for 45 to 50 minutes at 350°F until the top is golden brown.
- Serve at room temperature with Cool Whip.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the fruit mixture. If you prefer a more tropical twist, you can substitute the crushed pineapple with diced mango. Ensure the butter is melted to allow it to drizzle evenly over the cake mix, which will help create a deliciously golden crust. This cake is reminiscent of classic American recipes that are easy and enjoyable to make.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this delightful cake at room temperature for the best flavor and texture. It pairs beautifully with a dollop of Cool Whip on top, adding a creamy element to the fruity base. For a complete dessert experience, consider serving it alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or with a slice of Evie'S Coffee Cake for an indulgent treat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of fruit filling instead of cherry pie filling?
Absolutely! You can swap the cherry pie filling for other fruit fillings like blueberry or apple, depending on your preference. Just keep in mind that different fruits may alter the overall flavor and sweetness of the cake, so you might want to adjust the sugar levels accordingly.
Is it necessary to use an oblong cake pan, or can I use a different type?
While an oblong cake pan is recommended for even baking, you can use a round cake pan or even a 9x13 inch dish. Just adjust the baking time slightly, as different pan shapes and sizes can affect how quickly the cake cooks.
Can I make this cake ahead of time for an event?
Yes, you can make this cake a day in advance. Just cover it tightly with plastic wrap or foil to keep it fresh. When ready to serve, you can leave it at room temperature or warm it slightly in the microwave for a few seconds to enhance the flavors.
