Milk
Applesauce
one can of cherry pie filling
one tub of white frosting.
Prepare cake mix as instructed on box. I usually substitute milk for water and applesauce for oil. Then pour it into two round cake tins.
dollop cherry pie filling in four even dollops per pan.
then swirl it around some and bake as box instructs.
Frost with white frosting. This part is a little more complicated as it does not rise evenly and can be gooey do to the fruit.
For anyone who has not seen "Miss Spider's Sunny Patch Friends." The name for this cake was pilfered from there. Cheery-up cherry cake is the simple sweet and happy sort of treat the makes any too-rainy-for-park day okay again. Plus this super easy to make cake is one that The Girl can easily help with.
I try to keep the ingrediance on hand at all times and keep an eye out for when the ingrediance go on sale and grab a few. It is my hope that is cake will be one of those taste from childhood that is looked back on fondly with a hint of Mommy magic to know just the right time when a cheey-up is needed.
