Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- Pour the melted butter into the bottom of the prepared pan. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the butter.
- Spread the cherry pie filling evenly over the brown sugar layer.
