2 Ingredient Cherry Angel Food Cake

2 Ingredient Cherry Angel Food Cake comes together with just 2 ingredient items. You won't need eggs, water, oil, or anything but cherry pie filling, and Angel food cake to bake this up. It is a perfect summertime cake that you have to make to experience! This fluffy, cherry cake is loaded with moist cherry chunks and can be made in a 9 x 13 cake pan, or a Bundt pan.

Equipment

  • oven (adjusted to the center rack)
  • large mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • rubber spatula
  • 9 x 13 cake pan or 10-cup Bundt pan

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces Angel Food Cake Mix Do not use the egg pouch type. Just add water variety only.
  • 21 ounces Canned cherry pie filling

Instructions

  • Adjust oven rack to the center position. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Mix dry cake mix and the entire can of cherry pie filling in a large bowl. Whisk to carefully combine until thick, pink, and fluffy.
  • Add batter to an ungreased 9 x 13 glass or ceramic baking dish. You do not want to grease this type of pan. See notes or post for pan details.
  • Bake for 28-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool for 30 minutes before slicing. The cake will be very fluffy and depress a bit in the center once it cools.
  • Serve with whipped topping, and a cherry! Enjoy!

Notes

Nutritional values may vary and are meant to be a guide.
For this recipe, you do not need to grease glass or ceramic baking pans with nonstick spray. The angel food cake rises and needs the pan to "climb up" your pan. If you heavily grease it, the cake will not rise and will be a flat bust! Your cake will leave a coating in your glass pan, but once fully cooled you'll be able to remove the slices from the pan.
 
If using a metal Bundt cake pan you will need to grease your pan, or your cake will not effortlessly come out. I prefer using Baker's Joy nonstick baking spray which is made with flour and oils.
