BUTTERY CHERRY DROP CAKE

Buttery Cherry Drop Cake image

It's funny....when going through recipes to find one to post, each recipe brings back a memory. This is from a girl I met when our boys were in pre-school together. The boys are in college now, so this is a tried and true recipe. Anyway, this cake is fabulous. You can also substitute blueberry pie filling for the cherry. What I've also done is made these into mini muffins. I put a little batter into each muffin cup then put a tad of cherry pie filling onto each of the muffins, and voila, you have these buttery muffins with cherry filling hiding inside. YUMMY!

Spoon cherry pie filling ONTO cake batter in 1/4 Cup allotments.
I usually put about 6- 1/4 cup dollops of cherry pie filling around the entire cake.
