Cherry Cream Cheese Cake
Ingredients
  • cooking spray (such as Pam®)
  • 1 (8 ounce) package refrigerated crescent rolls (such as Pillsbury® Grands! Big and Flaky)
  • 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
  • 1 (12 ounce) can cherry pie filling
  • 1 (18.5 ounce) package yellow cake mix (such as Duncan Hines®)
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the optimal temperature of 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius).
2
Next, take a moment to prepare your baking dish by spraying it with cooking spray, ensuring it's the perfect size for your culinary creation - a 9x13-inch glass baking dish.
3
Now, unroll the crescent rolls and bring them together at the seams, creating a seamless union that will form the foundation of your dessert.
4
In a separate bowl, combine the cream cheese, white sugar, and vanilla extract using a gentle yet firm motion. This harmonious blend will serve as the base layer for your dessert.
5
Spread this mixture evenly over the crescent roll dough, creating a uniform and visually appealing layer.
6
Add a sprinkle of brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon to the cream cheese mixture, infusing your dessert with a warm and comforting aroma.
7
Pour the cherry pie filling over the brown sugar layer, creating a sweet and tangy contrast that will tantalize your taste buds.
8
Sprinkle the yellow cake mix over the cherry pie filling, adding a delightful textural element to your dessert.
9
Arrange butter slices over the cake mix, creating a rich and indulgent layer that will satisfy your cravings.
10
Top this final layer with the remaining 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, adding a subtle yet essential flavor that will elevate your dessert to new heights.
11
Finally, wrap a piece of aluminum foil around the baking dish to prevent the crescent rolls from burning during the baking process.
12
Bake your dessert in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour, or until it's cooked through to perfection.
13
Once your dessert is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
