Ellen’s Cakes Playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdIs070oupdtwCdnZv2_faptPn_viK7VO Cake 1 (15.25 oz) box white cake mix 1 (3 oz) box cherry gelatin 3 extra large or jumbo eggs, room temperature 3/4 cup canola or vegetable oil 1/2 cup maraschino cherry juice 1 (10-12 oz) jar maraschino cherries, drained and chopped 1 tsp pure almond extract Fresh Cherries, for garnish (optional) Cherry Cream Cheese Frosting 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese or 1 (8 oz) carton cream cheese spread, softened 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened 1/4 cup maraschino cherry juice 12 maraschino cherries, chopped 1/2 tsp pure almond extract Red food coloring, optional 1 (16 oz) box powdered sugar, sifted or whisked Preheat Oven to 350 Degrees Grease 2 (9 inch) round cake pans with baking spray and set aside. Place the maraschino cherries into a food chopper or blender and blend until well combined. In a large bowl, add cake mix, gelatin, eggs, oil, cherry juice, chopped cherries, and almond extract; whisk or mix on medium speed until well combined about 2 minutes. Pour and divide the batter evenly into the pans, shake and bang the pan to release the air bubbles. Bake for 20-30 minutes until golden brown or toothpick in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool completely on wire racks. Once the cakes are cooled, add one layer onto a cake stand; frost the top with Frosting. Then add the other cake layer, frost the top and the sides. Garnish with fresh cherries on top (if using). Cut them into slices and serve. For the Cherry Cream Cheese Frosting In a large bowl with hand mixer, add cream cheese and butter; cream on medium speed until fluffy (scrape the bowl occasionally). Next add and mix in the almond extract, chopped cherries, cherry juice, and food coloring (if using) until well combined. Reduce the speed to low and then slowly add and mix in the powdered sugar until well incorporated.
