Easy Cherry Cake

I found this recipe online, but can't find the Website now, unfortunately..... 1 pkg Golden Yellow cake mix, pudding-type (oil and eggs as called for on cake mix package) 1/2 cup water 1 can cherry pie filling (or fresh pie filling if available) 1 can Buttercream frosting Prepare cake mix according to package directions, using oil or butter and eggs, and 1/2 cup water. Spread batter in greased and floured 13x9 pan. Spoon cherry pie filling evenly over the batter, then swirl into the batter just enough to give a marbled effect. Bake at 350 degrees for 55-60 minutes, until cake bounces back when lightly touched. Cool completely; frost with Buttercream frosting.

Fresh Cherry Pie Filling

These are a couple of recipes to make my homemade filling from all the cherries from our tree. Both are excellent! Recipe 1 5-6 cups fresh pitted cherries (2-3 lbs) 1/2 cup water 1-1/4 cups sugar 4 Tbs cornstarch In a saucepan, combine all ingredients, bring to a boil; reduce heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, for about 10 minutes. Cool slightly before using. Recipe 2 2 cups fresh pitted cherries 1/2 cup water 1/2 cup sugar 2 TBS cornstarch In a saucepan, cook cherries in water for 10 minutes. Mix together sugar and cornstarch, add to cherries. Cook mixture until thickened. Cool slightly before using.
