So often is the case that I end up playing clean up on things that don't get eaten and I finish them all up so I understand :) I will try to post less appealing recipes next time ;)NOVA Frugal Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10298382094101689880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341866154277464609.post-35198876179022808042015-09-19T21:15:03.071-04:002015-09-19T21:15:03.071-04:00So I did make it this afternoon because I had told...So I did make it this afternoon because I had told Greg about it yesterday and he kept on pestering me about it :) The cherries' syrup was very liquid so I first added a cup of confectioner's sugar to it, and then some cornstarch and I nuked it. I should have added more cornstarch because it still wasn't thick enough but I wanted to get on with it so I just used it like that. The can of cherries was only 15 oz so there weren't that many cherries and the pan I used might have been a larger one too. I did use the rest of the cream cheese icing made on 9/5 since it didn't taste or smell bad. Greg really liked the cake! We ate our first piece right out of the oven so it was still crumbly. He liked that it wasn't too sweet. To be fair, without the icing, I don't think he would have liked it as much because it would have been too plain (with the cherries instead of the pie filling). My son had some too and liked it.<br /><br />I got my can of cherries at Aldi during the holidays too! I noticed that the "expiration" date was July 2015 so this was a great way to use up something that might have gone bad soon, as well as using up that left over icing. Thanks for posting the recipe!Nathaliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01654610295436446555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341866154277464609.post-17386824756792823232015-09-19T13:34:47.767-04:002015-09-19T13:34:47.767-04:00Mine was from Aldi over the holidays.

I made the pie with two and had this one leftover that I didn't know what I was going to do with it. Until I saw this recipe. It can be used with any kind of pie filling but cherry is our favorite and what the recipe called for. If you use anything else as the filling, you might want to add a little more sugar to the batter because it really wasn't that sweet. We really enjoy this and it got better as it soaked into the cake!! Hope you make it soon and let me know what you thought :)NOVA Frugal Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10298382094101689880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341866154277464609.post-79369143090859690092015-09-18T08:51:26.582-04:002015-09-18T08:51:26.582-04:00Curse you, Alison, for making check my pantry at 8...Curse you, Alison, for making check my pantry at 8:45 a.m. to see if I had cherry pie filling, LOL! Ohhh, it looks so good... and if my cream cheese icing from 2 weeks ago is still good, I could use it on top... I don't have any cans of pie filling (I didn't think I did but you never know since I tend to accumulate cans and boxes of food that I wouldn't buy at full price if I find them on clearance) but I do have a can of dark cherries in heavy syrup so I might try that. This is not going to be good for the diet I'm supposed to be on! I'll let you know how it turns out if I make it :)Nathaliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01654610295436446555noreply@blogger.com
