Easy Cherry Sheet Cake

By brendaz

This cake is actually a slice since it's done in a shallow sheet pan and can technically be sliced into a million pieces but I still like to call it a cake - and I like to eat it like a cake too....and maybe even with some ice cream. However you choose to serve it, this dessert is quick and easy and goes a long way. This recipe calls for cherry pie filling but you can use apple, blueberry, strawberry-rhubarb- just about anything goes.

Ingredients

• Cake:
• 1 cup butter
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1 tsp. almond extract
• 3 cups flour
• 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1 can cherry pie filling (or any other pie filling)
• Glaze:
• 1 cup icing sugar
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• enough milk to make a loose glaze
