Ingredients
Crust
- 30.5 ounces yellow cake mix (2 boxes)
- 2 large eggs
- 5 tablespoons vegetable oil
Cheesecake
- 16 ounces cream cheese softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 ½ cup milk
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 21 ounces canned cherry pie filling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch x 13-inch baking dish. Set aside.
- Remove 1 cup of cake mix and set it aside. Pour the remaining cake mix into a large mixing bowl. Add the eggs and vegetable oil to the bowl and mix to combine. (It will be crumbly.)
- Press the cake mixture into the bottom of the baking dish and up the sides about 3/4 of the way. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar together until fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing after each addition.
- Add the reserved 1 cup of cake mix and beat on medium speed for 1 minute.
- Lower the mixer speed and mix in the milk, lemon juice, and vanilla until smooth and combined. Pour the cheesecake batter into the cake crust.
- Bake for 65 to 75 minutes or until the center is set and the crust is golden.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature, about 2 hours. Then spread the cherry pie filling over the cheesecake.
- Cover and chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour before serving. Cut into 12 squares or large slices to your liking.
