How to Make Double Moist Picnic Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine one box (15.25 oz) of your favorite white cake mix with 1/2 cup all-purpose flour.
- Add 4 large eggs, 1 cup water, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup applesauce, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the cake mix. Mix until just combined.
- Remove 2 cups of the batter and pour it into a separate bowl.
- In the bowl with the 2 cups of batter, add 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder. Stir until cocoa is fully incorporated before adding any liquids.
- Stir in 1/2 cup Pepsi and 2 tablespoons ketchup.
- Pour the vanilla batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Pour the chocolate batter over the vanilla batter and gently spread it to within 1/4 inch of the edges of the pan.
- Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs attached. Start checking at 22-25 minutes.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 30 minutes.
- Slice and serve warm or cool completely and store in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
- Enjoy!
