cherry pie cake with almond scented meringue
Easy as pie - nope even easier and prettier too! I used Betty Crocker Cherry Chip cake mix, but any cake of your choice will work just fine. I've always been a fan of a hint of almond with cherries and if you are too this will really work for you too.

How To Make cherry pie cake with almond scented meringue

1Preheat oven to 325 degrees Butter an 8 inch springform pan. Pour the cherry pie filling into the pan. Mix together the cake mix of choice with the cooking oil, 3/4 cup water and the egg yolks and beat for two minutes. Pour the cake batter over the cherries and bake for about 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool.

3Whip the egg whites with the cream of tartar until frothy. Gradually whip in the sugar and continue to whip until they form stiff peaks. Whip in the almond extract and then top the cake with the meringue and bake it for about 10-12 minutes or until the meringue just starts to brown.
