Tips & Techniques

High Altitude (3500-6500 ft):
For all pans, heat oven to 350°F. Finely chop cherries. Decrease oil to 1/4 cup. In step 2, add 1/4 cup Gold Medal® all-purpose flour and 1/4 cup water to cake batter. Bake 40 to 45 minutes.
Special Touch
For chocolate-dipped cherries, melt 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon shortening in microwave; stir. Dip well-drained cherries with stems into chocolate; refrigerate to set.

Ingredients

1 jar (10 oz) maraschino cherries, drained, 1/4 cup liquid reserved
1 box Betty Crocker® SuperMoist® devil's food cake mix
1 cup cherry cola carbonated beverage

1 container (12 oz) Betty Crocker® Whipped vanilla frosting
1 cup marshmallow creme
24 maraschino cherries with stems, well drained, if desired

Directions

1Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Spray bottom only of 13x9-inch pan with baking spray with flour. Chop cherries; set aside.
2In large bowl, beat cake mix, cola beverage, oil, eggs and 1/4 cup reserved cherry liquid with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed beat 2 minutes. Stir in chopped cherries. Pour into pan.
3Bake 35 to 43 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
