Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (15.25 oz) Cake Mix (Choose Carrot Cake or Chocolate depending on your craving)
- 2 cans (21 oz each) Fruit Filling (Crushed pineapple for Carrot; Cherry or Fudge sauce for Chocolate)
- 3/4 cup Unsalted Butter, thinly sliced into squares
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Take a 9×13 inch baking dish and lightly grease it with non-stick cooking spray or a thin layer of butter. This ensures the edges of your cake get that perfect golden crisp without sticking to the pan.
- Pour your chosen fruit filling or wet base into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Spread it out evenly with a spatula. Open the dry cake mix box and sprinkle the entire bag of dry powder evenly over the top of the wet base. Do NOT stir the mixture. Finally, place the thin slices of butter across the top of the dry mix, covering as much surface area as possible.
- Place the dish in the center rack of the oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes. You will know it is done when the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling up around the edges. Remove the dish from the oven and let it sit for at least 15 minutes before serving. This cooling period allows the “no-fail” structure to set, creating that perfect bakery-style consistency.
