Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon almond extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 (21-ounce) cans cherry pie filling
Glaze
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with pan spray and set aside.
  2. Cream together 1 cup unsalted butter, and 2 cups granulated sugar. Add 4 eggs and beat well. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and ¼ teaspoon almond extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine 3 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon salt. Add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture and mix until combined.
  4. Spread 3 cups of the batter evenly on the bottom of the prepared pan. Top with the 2 (21-ounce) cans cherry pie filling , spreading evenly across the batter. Drop dollops of the remaining batter as evenly as you can over the top until all the batter has been used.
  5. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean and the top is lightly golden brown. If you are using a 15x10-inch pan instead, the bake time may end up being a bit shorter, about 30 minutes. Cool completely.
  6. Whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon almond extract, and 2 tablespoons milk and drizzle over the cooled bars.
