Ingredients

  • 1 box Duncan Hines cherry supreme cake mix
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup pear nectar
  • 1/2 cup Crisco
  • 3 drops red food coloring
  • 4 eggs

Instructions

  1. Blend all ingredients, except eggs, at medium speed for 2 minutes.
  2. Add eggs, one at a time, and beat for 1 minute after each addition.

  4. Bake at 350°F for 45 minutes.

Tips & Substitutions

For a moister cake, consider substituting half of the Crisco with unsweetened applesauce. If you prefer a lighter texture, use egg whites instead of whole eggs. Make sure to blend the cake mix thoroughly to avoid lumps. You can also add chopped nuts or chocolate chips for added flavor. Pair this cake with a scoop of Delicious Double Chocolate Ice Cream for an indulgent dessert.

Serving Suggestions

Serve the Cherry Supreme Cake with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful treat. It pairs wonderfully with fresh fruit or a fruit compote for added flavor. This cake is perfect for gatherings, so consider serving it alongside Ribbon Bologna Wedges to create a festive spread.

Storage & Reheating

To store leftovers, wrap the cooled cake tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and keep it in the refrigerator for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze the cake in an airtight container for up to three months. When ready to enjoy, simply thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for a few hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different type of cake mix?

Yes, you can experiment with different flavors of cake mix, such as chocolate or vanilla, to create a unique twist on this recipe. Just be mindful of the additional flavors you introduce and adjust the sugar accordingly.

What can I do if my cake sticks to the pan?

If your cake sticks, it might be due to insufficient greasing or flouring of the pan. Make sure to generously grease the Bundt pan and dust it with flour before pouring in the batter. If it still sticks, run a knife around the edges to help release it.

How can I make the cake more visually appealing?

To enhance the presentation, consider glazing the cake with a simple icing made from powdered sugar and milk, or dusting it with powdered sugar before serving. You can also garnish with fresh cherries or mint leaves for a pop of color.
