Equipment

9x13 baking pan

Ingredients

42 ounce cherry pie filling (this is 2 cans)
16.5 ounce chocolate cake mix (devils food cake mix)
12 tablespoon butter (cold)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350℉.
Spread the canned cherries across the bottom of the baking pan.
In another bowl, add the cake mix and cold butter. Cut the butter into the cake mix using a pastry cutter or your hands by squeezing the ingredients together. Note, you can also use a food processor because using your hands is very tiring. I also added the grating method below.
Spread the crumbled cake mix across the cherries.
Place the pan in the oven and bake for 40 minutes. When done, remove from the oven and allow to cool about 15-20 minutes.
After cooling, serve and enjoy!

Notes

Grating the butter, place the butter in the freezer for 20 minutes then grate it. Spread the butter gratings across the top of the cake mix in the baking pan and it consistently reduces the dry spots.
