How to Make Cherry And Vanilla Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. Drain one (15 ounce) can of cherry pie filling, reserving 1/4 cup of the juice.
  3. Gently chop the drained cherries in half.
  4. Prepare your favorite vanilla cake mix according to package directions, substituting 1/4 cup of the reserved cherry juice for part of the water.
  5. Gently fold in 1 cup of chopped cherries and 1/2 cup of chopped pecans into the cake batter.
  6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once completely cool, frost your cake with your favorite frosting (homemade or store-bought).
  10. Serve and store leftover cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
