It's not exactly cherry pie, but it uses cherry pie filling and holy crap its GOOD! It's light, not too sweet, but still so decadent. It rocks. So let's get started already!

<br />This cake is so easy to make. I know you see the cake mix back there. How much easier can it get? So your first step is going to be mixing and baking that devil's food cake<span style="text-decoration: underline;">.</span>

<br /><div style="text-align: center;">
<br />Mmm... I love devil's food cake, don't you? Ok so now you poke holes in it with a fork. Go ahead, take out some anger. Just don't demolish it, kay?
<br />
<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3AZYfvC_fKQ/SZ7nkfC4D1I/AAAAAAAAACw/PRQ1DrGZkfk/s1600-h/baking+045.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3AZYfvC_fKQ/SZ7nkfC4D1I/AAAAAAAAACw/PRQ1DrGZkfk/s320/baking+045.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304932025083891538" border="0" /></a>
<br />Now I want you to pour the pie filling over the cake while it's still warm. Now, the recipe only calls for one can, but i love cherries, and i think i could have loved this more.
<br />
<br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3AZYfvC_fKQ/SZ7nkZqK1yI/AAAAAAAAAC4/l5Ht35j57bQ/s1600-h/baking+046.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3AZYfvC_fKQ/SZ7nkZqK1yI/AAAAAAAAAC4/l5Ht35j57bQ/s320/baking+046.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304932023638087458" border="0" /></a>
<br /><div style="text-align: center;">So once you're done with that, mix up your pudding, and fold the whip cream into it. Then spread it over the cake, just be careful to not mix it up with the cherries.
<br /></div>
<br />

<br /><div style="text-align: center;">Top it off with some chocolate sprinkles and maraschino cherries (if you don't forget to buy them), and you're done!

Welcome to my blog! I plan to make this a dessert blog, but I could see myself adding main course foods as well.<br /><br /> So here's what you should know about me: I'm young, single, passionate, clever, witty, sarcastic, and best of all, SOUTHERN! I was born and raised in the heart of the south, my sweet home Alabama. I grew up with a mom and grandma (maw maw) always cooking or baking up something.<br /><br /> The recipes you will see here come from my family and family friends, all passed down to me just a few months ago. They all include REAL ingredients, like whole milk and butter. So dieters beware: this stuff is good, and if you have to guts to make this, you WILL go off your diet for one sin-filled night (or afternoon, or evening, or morning even) of pleasure.<br /><br /><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8822246412731094402-4387062941604832285?l=bakingbrat.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Baking Brathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17885534476381549313noreply@blogger.com0
