Ingredients
  

Cake Ingredients
  • 1 box devil's food cake mix (about 15–18 oz)
  • 3 large eggs Use room-temperature for better emulsion
  • 3/4 cup milk (whole or 2% for best texture) Buttermilk can be a substitute
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Can be substituted with almond extract for flavor variations
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil Melted butter can be used for richer flavor
  • 30 ounces cherry pie filling (two cans to total ~30 oz) Fresh or frozen cherries can replace pie filling
Topping
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for dusting) Add before serving

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10-12 cup bundt pan thoroughly with nonstick spray or softened butter, then dust lightly with flour.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, milk, vanilla, and vegetable oil. Stir until the batter is smooth.
  3. Spoon the cherry pie filling into the batter and gently fold with a spatula just until distributed.
Baking
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top.
  2. Bake at 350°F for 45–50 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick.
  3. Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a rack to cool completely.
Serving
  1. Once the cake is cooled, dust lightly with powdered sugar, if desired, before serving.
