Cherry Jazz

[Juliebove]

My grandma used to make this all the time, using Jiffy cake and margarine. I had to modify it a bit for our food allergies. But it's super easy and very good!

2 cans gluten-free cherry pie filling

1 pkg vanilla cake mix (enough for 2 layers)

1 cup coconut oil, melted plus a few drops of butter flavored extract if desired

Dump the pie filling into a 9" x 13" cake pan. Sprinkle the cake mix over the top, then drizzle with the coconut oil. You don't want to futz with this too much but if you have any large powdery areas, you will want to cover them with oil. My oil went into the corners and I had to redistribute it a bit.

Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

If you can eat butter or margarine, you can use that instead of the coconut oil. You can also vary the fruit. Any kind of pie filling will do, or you can use canned fruit such as peaches or fruit cocktail. If you can only find a single layer cake mix, then use one can of fruit and an 8' x 8" pan. Yellow cake mix works well too. I've seen similar recipes with chocolate cake mix, but I've never tried that.

The end result is not at all like a cake and is a little more like a pie without the bottom crust. The top gets a little crispy.
