Cherry Dream Cake

 

I made this cake for my oldest sister's last birthday. It's so creamy, fruity, and cold -- simply scrumptious!

Recipe from Taste of Home's "Quick Cooking Annual Recipes 2003" cookbook

• 1 package (18-14 oz) white cake mix
• 1 package (3 oz.) cherry Jello
• 1-1/2 C. boiling water
• 1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
• 2 C. whipped cream
• 1 can (21 oz.) cherry pie filling

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F; grease one 9" x 13" baking dish.

Prepare cake mix according to package directions. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Dissolve Jello in boiling water. Cool cake for 3-5 minutes. Pole holes in cake with meat fork; gradually pour Jello over cake. Cool for 15 minutes. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Beat cream cheese until light, fold in whipped cream; spread over cake. Top with pie filling. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.
