CHERRY-TOPPED CHEESECAKE 
1 pkg. Duncan Hines yellow cake mix
2 tbsp. oil
2 (8 oz. each) pkgs. cream cheese, softened
1/2 c. sugar
4 eggs
1 1/2 c. milk
3 tsp. lemon juice
3 tbsp. vanilla
1 can cherry pie filling

Note: I use a 13 x 9 inch Pyrex baking dish. Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

Reserve 1 cup dry cake mix. In large mixing bowl, combine remaining cake mix, 1 egg and oil (mixture will be crumbly). Press up sides and bottom of greased dish. In same bowl, blend cream cheese and sugar, add 3 eggs and reserved cake mix, beat 1 minute at medium speed. At low speed, slowly add milk and flavoring; mix until smooth. Pour into crust. Bake at 300 degrees for 45-55 minutes until center is firm. When cool, top with pie filling. Chill.
