Ingredients
Instructions
- Pour oil into a 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan and spread it on the bottom.
- Add the cake mix, eggs, and water into the pan.
- Stir until blended, about 2 minutes.
- Spoon pie filling into the batter to create a marble effect.
- Bake at 350°F for 40 to 50 minutes.
- Allow to cool, then sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or almond extract to the batter. If you don't have white cake mix, you can use yellow cake mix instead, but the color may change slightly. To create a more pronounced marble effect, swirl the pie filling gently with a knife without fully blending it in. This cake pairs beautifully with Grandma Carter'S Jello Salad.
