Time 1h10m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup vegetable oil
2 cups granulated sugar
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 drops lemon extract
1 cup fresh orange juice
1 (19 ounce) can cherry pie filling

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, then lightly greast a 9"x13" baking pan.
  • In a medium-size bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder & salt, then make a well in the center & blend in the oil, sugar, eggs, vanilla & lemon extracts & the OJ, stirring to make a smooth batter.
  • Pour 3/4 of the batter into the prepared pan, then carefully spread the cherry pie filling over this layer of batter, before topping the pie filling with HALF of the remaining batter.
  • Finally, in dollops, drop the rest of the batter onto the top of everything (being uneven is not a problem!) & bake 55-60 minutes, or until the top is firm to the touch.
