Notes
42 ounces of cherry pie filling is usually two 21 ounce cans. You can make the recipe with slightly more or less pie filling by an ounce or two and it will still be tasty.
Many of the boxed cake mix companies have decreased the size of the boxed cake mixes from 15.25 to 13.25 ounces. While not every recipe can use the two sizes interchangeably, for this recipe you can use either size cake mix.
You only use the dry cake mix in this recipe, you don't need to add the ingredients the box directions say. The cake mix cooks with the butter to make the topping for the cherries.
