Cherry Cake



This recipe has been in my family many years. It is not a cake at all and is more on the order of cheesecake so I am not for sure how it got its name. It is one of our family's and especially my husband's favorite dessert.

Ingredients:
2 cups flour
1/2 pound butter (2 sticks)
1 1/4 cup chopped pecans
2 envelopes of Dream Whip
1 8oz cream cheese, softened
3 cups powdered sugar
2 cans cherry pie filling ( you can use blueberry or strawberry if desired. We prefer the original cherry)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Melt butter. Add flour and pecans to butter, mix well. Press into a greased 9x13 pan. Bake for 15 minutes. Let cool completely. Mix Dream Whip according to package directions. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar, then add to Dream Whip and mix until well blended. Spread over cooled crust. Spread pie filling over top of cream cheese mixture. Refrigerate.
