How to Make Cherry Cobbler Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  3. In a large bowl, combine one 15.25 oz box of white cake mix, 3 large eggs, 1/2 cup water, and 1/3 cup vegetable oil.
  4. Beat at medium speed with an electric mixer for 2 minutes.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  6. In a separate large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons cornstarch.
  7. Stir in 2 (15 ounce) cans cherry pie filling (reserve some cherries for garnish, if desired), 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) melted unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon almond extract, and 8-12 drops of red food coloring.
  8. Stir until well combined.
  9. Spoon the cherry mixture evenly over the cake batter.
  10. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 60-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
  11. Let cool completely before serving. Top with Cool Whip and optional extra cherries for garnish.
