Janel's Notes:

The original recipe called for a can of fruit pie filling and a can of pineapple. We don't like pineapple so I used two 21 ounce cans of pie filling. The original recipe called for two sticks of butter. I used ONE stick of butter instead. I also added walnuts BEFORE I put the butter on. Enjoy!

Directions

Spray Pam on the bottom of a 9x13 cake pan.
Spread 2 cans of cherry pie filling in the pan.
Spread dry cake mix over the cherries.
Thinly slice 1 stick of butter and lay the slices on top of the dry cake mix.
(Optional: walnuts spread on top)

Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
Cool and serve with ice cream or cool whip.

We have 2 sizes of canned cherries for desserts, in our grocery stores....what size cans do you use?

That's a good question concerning the size of the can. I used a two 21 ounce cans of Duncan Hines Cherry Pie Filling. We only have one size can here and I didn't think about the difference. Thank you for helping me be more precise. I tend to be a cook that uses a pinch of this and a dash of that. I make things work when I don't have a specific ingredient. Have a warm day.

Is this recipe the recipe that you cut half the fat from?

The original recipe called for two sticks of butter. I use one stick of butter. The original recipe also called for a can of pie filling and a can of pineapple. We are not crazy about pineapple in our cake so I used two cans of cherry pie filling instead. I was just at the store and saw strawberry pie filling. I think that would be good with the dark chocolate cake as well:) I haven't tried that yet.
Enjoy!
