#Bundtamonth Easy Cherry Cake

007This months #bundtamonth is all about cherries. I love this group because I get to use my bundt pans.

I love collecting them and have added two more to my collection since joining this group a few months ago.

My family and coworkers are also very happy about this club. They love eating the wonderful cakes that I make, and this month is no exception.


If you notice I only have four ingredients in this cake. It couldnt be easier. Actually there would have been five, but I forgot the almonds when I went to the grocery store to get the ingredients.

The cake turned out moist and delicious with a lot of cherries floating around in the mix. I was really surprised at how easy it was, and how good it was. I used a box cake mix and was very pleased with the results. I think I may try other box cakes with other pie fillings and see how they taste. 001

This cake would be ideal for a brunch or perhaps with coffee in the afternoon. I decided to just add a bit of powdered sugar dusted over the top. The cherry pie filling made the inside of the cake a nice pink color. I also loved the bits of cherry in the middle also. The almond extract gave it a slight almond taste that paired nicely with the cherries.
