Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
Place the cake mix, milk, eggs, vanilla, and melted butter in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer at medium speed until blended and smooth, scraping down the side of the bowl if needed (about 2 minutes). Fold chopped cherries in by hand, then pour the cake batter into the prepared pan.
1 box yellow, butter golden, or white cake mix, ¾ cup whole milk, 3 large eggs, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, ½ cup butter, melted and cooled slightly, 1 10-ounce jar maraschino cherries, drained, rinsed, and chopped
In a separate medium bowl, combine the butter, flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon and cut together using a long-tined fork or pastry cutter until well mixed and crumbly. Sprinkle the crumb mixture over the top of the cake batter.
1 cup butter at room temperature, 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup packed light brown sugar, 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (about 45 minutes). Allow to cool slightly and then sprinkle the top with confectioners' sugar, if desired.
