When I asked my sweety what kind of cake he wanted for his 45th birthday, he requested "Cherry Crunch". It is not really a cake, but it is definitely yummy! The other big plus is that it is EASY! It is also called Cherry Dump Cake in my Cake Mix Doctor Cookbook. I can remember my Mom making it often. My method is to melt 1 1/2 sticks of butter and spread a little in the bottom of the 9 x 13 dish. Next, I dump in 2 cans of Cherry pie filling. Top this with the cake mix and sprinkle the 1 cup of chopped pecans over the top. (Sometimes, I add a little coconut.) Lastly, drizzle the melted butter over the top. I baked it for about 1 hour in a 325 degree oven. Serve with vanilla ice cream! YUMMY!
Here it is all assembled!
Just out of the oven. It smells wonderful! Time to get out the ice cream!
My sweety with our boys. Gee, I wonder what they are contemplating? Ya'll Come Back!

I think they're wondering if it's going to be enough cake. Look delish, but I've never liked cherry pie filling. It tastes like metal to me. I love cherries though.
