Servings: 12 servings
Calories: 123kcal
Cost: $8
Ingredients
- 2 (14.25oz) cans Tart Cherries with juice
- ½ cup (237ml) tart cherry juice
- 1 ⅓ cups (267g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (32g) cornstarch
- 1 (14-16 ounce) package yellow cake mix
- 12 ounces lemon lime soda
Instructions
- Drain cherries and reserve ½ cup juice. Discard any remaining juice.
- Add juice, sugar, and cornstarch to a medium saucepan. Place over medium-low heat whisk until smooth. Continue stirring constantly until mixture boils and thickens. Remove from heat.
- Stir cherries into the thickened mixture.
- Pour cherry mixture into a 9x9-inch baking pan. Cool while oven preheats.
- While cherries are cooling, preheat oven to 350°F.
- Once the oven is preheated, sprinkle dry cake mix over cherries, then slowly pour lemon lime soda evenly over the top. Use a fork to lightly mix the soda and dry mix – you don’t want it all mixed but you want the dry mix moistened so it dissolves during baking.
- Bake for approximately 25-35 minutes or until light golden brown on top.
- Serve plain or with ice cream.
Notes
- If you're using frozen cherries, thaw them before making filling. You can substitute water for the juice or use tart cherry juice (found in the drink aisle).
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Best served fresh.
- Cherry filling will thicken as it cools.
- For a thinner topping, use a 9x13-inch baking dish. Baking time will be less.
- For extra flavor you can add a teaspoon vanilla extract or almond extract to the thickened mixture after removing it from the heat.
