How to Make 123 Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  3. In the prepared pan, pour 1/2 cup vegetable oil, ensuring it coats the bottom and sides.
  4. Add one box (15.25 oz) of your favorite cake mix, one 3.4 oz package of instant vanilla pudding mix, the amount of water specified on the cake mix box, and two large eggs.
  5. Gently mix with a fork until all dry ingredients are moistened. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour in one (21 oz) can of your favorite pie filling (cherry, apple, etc.).
  7. Swirl the pie filling gently into the cake batter using a knife or spatula.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
