Cherry Gunk (recipe)

 Here is a favorite dating back to my Senior year of high school (that would be 1979-1980).  My best friend Paul would show up carrying a bag from Krogers with the main ingredients of this cake... asking "would you make some of that cherry gunk?"

Cherry Gunk

 

1 box yellow cake mix

1/4 cup oil

2 eggs

1/2 cup water

2 cups cherry pie filling

1 cup crushed pineapple

 

Pre-heat oven to 350*.

 Pour oil into a 13x9 pan to cover bottom and sides.  Put cake mix, eggs, and water into pan.  Stir with fork until blended (about 2 minutes).  Scrape sides and spread batter evenly in pan.  Dump in cherry filling and pineapple into batter.  Use fork to stir fruit into batter, creating a marbled effect.

Bake for 40-50 minutes, until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
