I took a few liberties with the recipe, but it tasted good anyway. Doing some spring cleaning I found some baking items that were past the BestBy dates. Namely cherry pie filling use by 2019, and a Krispy Items cake mix (2017).<br />I used a toddler size bowl, put a hefty Tbsp of cherry at the bottom. Mixed together about 1/2 c cake mix, a few slops of milk and mixed well with a plastic fork. Tasted it and decided to add a scant Tb of unsalted butter and two squirts of Hershey syrup. Poured that over the batter. Put it in microwave and gave it 90 sec. Still pudding consistency so I did another 90 sec. Went and washed my utensils so i<br />Would let it rest the 2-3 min. Took it oyt, added a dollop of cherry and some swirls of hershey.<br />And it was perfect. Moist cake, with the flavor of my grandma's homemade cake donuts. And warm cherry !Cobbler style. If you want a picture, its not as pretty as a professional (used my Amazon Tier HD tablet) but desperate times call for desperate measures. I've gotten creatively~foodwise, and since becoming disabled I can come up with food shelf meals and no one knows.<br />So thanks ree
