How to Make Jiffy Cake
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of butter slowly in a saucepan.
- Pour melted butter into a greased 9-inch round baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar (reduce to 3/4 cup if desired), 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Add 1 cup milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Whisk until just combined; the batter will be thin.
- Pour batter into the prepared baking pan with melted butter.
- Add your favorite pie filling (about 1 cup) to the center of the batter.
- Do not stir the batter and pie filling together.
- (Optional) For extra flavor, mix 1 tablespoon brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon into the pie filling before adding it to the batter.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean.
