Cherry Mallow Cake

You'll love the simplicity of this cake - the marshmallows melt and rise to the top for a ready-made glaze.

Yield: 15 servings

Ingredients

• 4 cups miniature marshmallows
• 1 (18.25 ounce) box yellow cake mix*
• 1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking pan with vegetable cooking spray. Place marshmallows evenly in the bottom of the pan.
2. Prepare cake mix according to package directions.
3. Pour batter over marshmallows.
4. Spoon cherry filling evenly over cake batter.
5. Bake for oven 45 to 50 minutes. The top of the cake will be bubbly and the marshmallows will be sticky on top of the cake.
6. Let cool in the pan, then cut into squares.

Notes

* 18.25 ounce boxes of cake mix have been replaced by 16.5 ounce and 15.25 ounce boxes. To compensate for the volume loss in a 16 ounce box, whisk 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour into the dry cake mix before proceeding with the recipe. To compensate for the volume loss in a 15.25 ounce box, add 1/2 cup + 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon baking powder.
