- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
Glaze
- 1 1/2 cups confectioners sugar

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

- Spread the batter evenly in the jelly roll pan.
- Drop the pie filling by spoonfuls over the batter, trying to evenly disperse the cherries throughout the batter.
- Bake until the cake springs back when touched lightly 25-30 minutes.
- Cool on a baking rack.

- Sprinkle with sliced almonds and drizzle with glaze.
Notes
When choosing a pie filling, the "more fruit" varieties are best for this recipe.
