Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 12 oz maraschino cherries 12 oz jar maraschino cherries, divided
  • water
  • 15.25 oz white cake mix 15.25 oz box
  • 12 oz whipped topping 8 oz tub of whipped topping plus ½ cup

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9x13 baking pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
  • Open the jar of cherries and pour out ¼ cup of the juice. Set aside for the icing. Dice ¼ cup of cherries for the cake and set aside. Pour remaining cherry juice into a measuring cup. Reserve remaining cherries for topping.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the eggs and vegetable oil. Add water to the measured cherry juice so you have a total of ¾ cup. Add mix to the eggs. Using a whisk, whisk until frothy and bubbly.
  • Stir in cake mix just until combined and fold in cherries. Pour into prepared pan and bake for 24-26 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let stand to cool completely.
  • Once the cake is cooled, pour the remaining ¼ cup cherry juice into the 8oz tub of cool whip. Mix well. Spread on top of cake in an even layer.
  • Place the remaining whipped topping into a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe dollops onto the top of the cake and top with reserved cherries. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
