Delicious! My cherry hating kids couldn't keep their hands off of them. The recipe works very well in a large 12x18 jelly roll pan for a thinner bar type dessert.

We love this! Instead of topping the cake with pie filling, I color some Lite Cool Whip with red food coloring or a bit of maraschino cherry juice (a light pink-colored topping) and crown each piece with a stemmed maraschino cherry.

We love this cake but top it with whipped topping and shaved chocolate!

I make this cake quite often. It is easy and tastes great! I make it in a bundt pan instead of the 9x13 and top the slices with whipped cream as well as the cherries.
