Different Types and Advice
For a different version of this classic recipe, use spice cake mix instead of yellow cake mix for a richer taste. You can also use apple or blueberry pie filling instead of cherry pie filling, depending on the fruit you prefer. By adding a small spoonful of cinnamon to the cake batter, you can give the dish a cozy and fragrant touch. If you want to make this dish less heavy, you can choose a cake mix and pie filling without sugar.
