Swirled Cherry Cake

This is one of my favorite cakes ever. I can't believe I forgot to post it until now!

1 box white cake mix or yellow cake mix
3/4 cup Egg Beaters or 6 egg whites
1 cup water
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 can cherry pie filling (best if it's brand name, not generic--e.g. Comstock)

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Grease and flour bottom and sides of a 9x13" cake pan (you can use the Pam spray for baking... it has flour right in it!).
3. In a large bowl, mix cake mix, egg whites, water, and applesauce with a mixer until well blended.
4. Pour batter into prepared cake pan. Smooth evenly in pan.
5. Drop spoonfuls of the pie filling on top of the cake batter.
6. With a knife, swirl the cherry pie filling into the cake batter. Be careful not to touch the bottom of the cake pan with the knife. This might remove some of flour/shortening coating, causing the cake to stick.
7. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until cake is golden brown on top and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Allow to cool for 10 minutes.
9. May be served warm or cooled. It's great with soy ice cream!
