Ingredients
- 1 box white cake mix, plus ingredients
- 1 ½ cups boiling water
- 3.5 oz box lime Jello
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup butter softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 21 oz can cherry pie filling
Instructions
- Prepare the cake mix according to package directions for a 9 x 13 inch baking pan. Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, use the bottom of a wooden spoon to carefully poke holes into the cake about 1 inch apart and in rows.
- While the cake is in the oven, prepare the lime Jello. Bring water to a boil and pour over the Jello powder, stir until dissolved. Allow the Jello to cool. Pour the Jello over the top of the cake to fill the holes. Refrigerate the cake for at least 15 minutes or up to an hour.
- While the cake sets prepare the frosting. For the frosting, beat together the cream cheese and the butter until creamy. Slowly add in the powdered sugar one cup at a time. Add the vanilla.
- Carefully frost the cake with the cream cheese frosting. Pour pie filling over the frosting. Refrigerate the cake until ready to serve.
