Cherry Texas Sheet Cake

Teresa Ambra
Cherry Texas Sheet Cake is so scrumptious. This Texas-sized cake pops with cherry flavor since it uses a cherry cake mix and cherry pie filling in the batter. The icing incorporates cherry extract so this cake rocks! If you enjoy cherry-flavored desserts, this one is mouthwatering and utterly irresistible. It makes 48 servings so it's terrific for feeding a crowd, especially for holidays and company.
