Directions

• Preheat oven to 350f degrees.
• Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with no-stick cooking spray.
• In a large bowl, using a stand mixer or an electric mixer, start mixing all the wet ingredients together (eggs, oil, water, maraschino cherry juice and almond extract.)
• Then add in cake mix.
• Stir well to combine.
• If using a stand mixer, you will need to scrape down the sides of the bowl to make sure it mixes completely.
• Gently stir in the chopped maraschino cherries.
• Pour batter into prepared baking dish.
• Bake for about 30 minutes until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
• Allow cake to cool completely before making the frosting.
• When ready to make the frosting, mix together the softened cream cheese and butter in a large bowl, using an electric mixer.
• Then add in powdered sugar (start the mixer on slow so powdered sugar doesnt fly everywhere.) Finally, add in almond extract and maraschino cherry juice.
• Mix until smooth.
• Then spread that yummy and pretty frosting on the cooled cake.
• Top slices with maraschino cherries.
