This ridiculously easy 3-ingredient cake recipe is easy to make in minutes and turns out unbelievably moist, rich, and full of fruity flavor every single time. Just mix, bake, and watch everyone think you spent hours in the kitchen!

Ingredients

1 box cake mix (any flavor)
1 (21 oz.) can pie filling (any flavor)
3 eggs

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven according to the cake mix package directions (typically 350°F).
  2. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or two 8-inch round pans.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, pie filling, and eggs.
  4. Mix until fully blended. The batter will be thick—this is normal.
  5. Spread evenly into the prepared pan.
  6. Bake according to the cake mix package directions (usually 25–35 minutes), or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool completely, then frost as desired. A simple canned frosting, whipped topping, or even a dusting of powdered sugar all work well depending on the flavor combination.
  8. Slice and serve.

Notes

Tips for Best Results

  • Do not add the oil or water listed on the cake mix box—just the 3 ingredients above.
  • For extra richness, you can substitute 2 eggs + 1 extra yolk.
  • This cake is very moist—let it cool completely before slicing for clean pieces.

Easy Flavor Variations

Chocolate Cake Mix + Cherry Pie Filling – Rich, fudgy, almost like a shortcut Black Forest cake.
Optional upgrade: Add ½ cup chocolate chips or a dusting of powdered sugar.

Strawberry Cake Mix + Strawberry Pie Filling – Double strawberry flavor = bright, sweet, and crowd-pleasing. Great topped with whipped cream.

Yellow Cake Mix + Peach Pie Filling – Tastes like a cross between cake and cobbler. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top before baking for extra flavor.

Pineapple Cake Mix + Pineapple Filling (or Crushed Pineapple) – Light, tropical, and super moist.
Optional upgrade: Add shredded coconut for a piña colada vibe.

Spice Cake Mix + Apple Pie Filling – Warm, cozy flavors—perfect for fall!
Optional: Add chopped nuts or a drizzle of caramel.
