If you’re craving an easy, no-fuss dessert that still feels indulgent, this “Are You Kidding Me Cake” fits the bill perfectly. It combines a box cake mix, a can of pie filling, and a few eggs to yield a moist, pudding-cake–style treat with pockets of fruity sweetness — ideal for impromptu gatherings or a quick homemade dessert. The edges bake to a light crisp while the middle stays soft and tender, so every bite is cozy and comforting. It’s a great go-to when you want something sweet without a lot of effort.

Tips
- Choose a flavor of cake mix and pie filling that complement each other (e.g. yellow cake with apple, chocolate cake with cherry or berry filling) — this makes the cake more interesting. (Out of the Box Baking)
- Let the cake cool completely before slicing — the filling will set a little as it cools, and the texture will be cleaner when you cut squares.
