I was hungry for something sweet. Going through my cupboards, I found a white cake mix and a jar of maraschino cherries. It sounded like the perfect combo . . .
especially if I added in some vanilla . . .
I was right! It was pretty danged yummy for a cake mix!
Cherry Vanilla Cake
1 white cake mix
1 jar maraschino cherries (reserve juice to use instead of water called for on box)
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs (my cake mix called for three egg whites, but I was lazy)
Applesauce - to replace oil called for on box
In large bowl, mix cake mix, eggs and applesauce. Chop cherries in half. Add to bowl. Use reserved juice + water + vanilla to make liquid amount called for on mix. Add to bowl. Mix until moistened. Pour in cake pan and bake per mix directions.
Frost with your favorite frosting when completely cool.
+ I think this would be even better with 2 jars of cherries . . . but I'm weird like that!
