Instructions:
| Step | Description |

| 1 | Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). |

| 5 | Spoon 2/3 of the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, spreading it evenly. |
| 6 | Gently spoon 1 cup of cherry pie filling in a narrow ring over the batter, ensuring the cherries don’t touch the sides of the pan. |
| 7 | Carefully cover the cherry filling with the remaining cake batter. |
| 8 | Bake in the preheated oven for 36-40 minutes, or until the top of the cake is beautifully golden brown. |
| 9 | Allow the cake to cool upright in the pan for about half an hour. |
| 10 | After cooling, invert the cake onto a cake plate, revealing its glorious form. |
| 11 | Sprinkle the cake with confectioner’s sugar for a touch of sweetness and serve alongside the remaining cherry pie filling. |
