Delightful Cherry Cream Cheese Cake
"Delightful Cherry Cream Cheese Cake". This luscious, layered dessert is the perfect blend of tangy cherries and rich cream cheese, encased in a sweet, moist cake.
Ingredients
- Cooking spray like Pam®
- 1 pack of refrigerated crescent rolls approx. 227g or 8 oz., like Pillsbury® Grands! Big and Flaky
- 2 packs of cream cheese softened (about 450g or 16 oz. in total)
- 200 g 1 cup white sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon divided
- 1 can of cherry pie filling approx. 340g or 12 oz.
- 1 pack of yellow cake mix approx. 524g or 18.5 oz., like Duncan Hines®
- 170 g ¾ cup unsalted butter, cut into 1/4” pieces
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9 x 13-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray.
- Unroll the crescent rolls into the prepared dish, pinching the seams together.
- In a bowl, mix together the cream cheese, white sugar, and vanilla extract. Spread this mixture over the crescent roll dough. Sprinkle brown sugar and 1 tsp of cinnamon over the cream cheese layer.
- Pour the cherry pie filling over the brown sugar, then sprinkle the yellow cake mix over it. Arrange the butter pieces on top and sprinkle the remaining 1 tsp of cinnamon. Wrap the bottom of the baking dish with a piece of aluminium foil to prevent the rolls from burning.
- Bake for about 1 hour or until cooked through. Allow the cake to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
