Recipes Made with Cake Mixes
Easy Moist Cake
This cake doesn't need any icing or glaze.
Ingredients
- 1 (18.25 ounce) box lemon cake mix*
- 1 (21 ounce) can apricot pie filling*
- 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter or grease a tube or Bundt pan and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients with an electric mixer. Start on low/medium to just combine, then beat for 2 minutes on high speed.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and bake according to cake mix box directions. (This may take as much as 12 minutes longer.) Be careful not to over-bake.
Notes
* 18.25 ounce boxes of cake mix have been replaced by 16.5 ounce and 15.25 ounce boxes. To compensate for the volume loss in a 16 ounce box, whisk 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour into the dry cake mix before proceeding with the recipe. To compensate for the volume loss in a 15.25 ounce box, add 1/2 cup + 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon baking powder.
* You can use any combination of cake and pie filling flavors.
Variations
- Chocolate cake and cherry pie filling
- Lemon cake and any berry pie filling
- Spice or carrot cake and apple pie filling
- Orange cake and apricot or pineapple pie filling
