How to Make Upside Down Dream Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup packed light brown sugar and 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter. Cook, stirring constantly, until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved.
- Stir in 1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling (including syrup), 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts, and 1/4 cup chopped maraschino cherries (optional).
- Evenly divide the cherry mixture between the prepared cake pans.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 (15.25 ounce) box white cake mix, 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix, 4 large eggs, and 1 cup water.
- Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 4 minutes, or until batter is smooth.
- Carefully pour batter over the cherry mixture in each pan.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once completely cool, frost with whipped topping or your favorite frosting.
