I came across this recipe standing in Aldi looking for a new treat to try out to begin the holiday season. Something tasty for future potluck dinners. Tonight we would have a cake to make our stay in dinner a little special. Thanks to the inspiration found on justapinch.com, we have a new delicious creation. It’s made and ready in a little over an hour but is also equally indulgent when cold later.
Pro Tip: 2 things help make this recipe a breeze, besides the fact that it is only 3 ingredients. First a good whisk. By using a, mixing is a piece of cake (Pun intended). Also, a good 9*13 cake pan is a must. I love this one because it has a lid which means covering my desserts or casseroles is simple.
3 ingredients. One can of pie filling, one box of cake mix, and three eggs. You can fancy it up in any way you wish. While thinking of our upcoming fire pit season, marshmallows came to mind.
So we have cherry pie filling, devil’s food chocolate cake mix, eggs, and a jar of marshmallow fluff. Time to make a tasty potluck cake!
This was so super easy. Set oven to 350 and grease a 9×13 pan. I use butter for this task personally.
Add cake mix to a bowl. Time for 3 eggs. Scoop in the pie filling. Mix it up well and then pour into the greased pan. Only one dirty dish! And no beaters to clean!
Bake for 35 minutes. We took an evening walk. The house smelled divine when we got home. Remove from oven when toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool as long as you can stand to stay out of it. The fruit filling is a bit hot.
Once mostly cooled, we added the marshmallow fluff And I’m glad I did. The flavor of this cake is quite intense and the picture doesn’t do the moisture justice. I would proudly take this to my next neighborhood potluck!

Sounds delish, thanks for the recipe.
Sounds so good. Making this!
I’m guessing you could do this with just about any cake mix and any fruit filling (i.e., yellow cake mix and apple pie filling). I see a project in my near future.
This is excellent with spice cake mix and apple pie filling, topped with whipped cream.
Try it with spice cake and the apple pie filling. I threw in some cranberries to perk it up with color and a bit of tartness, yummy!
I used spice cake with apple pie filling! It was great!
This is an easy amazing recipe that I am going to make! I like that cheery pie filling! Thanks for another awesome recipe!
This is my kind of recipe – easy! I’ll definitely have to give this one a try.
Looks delicious! I have never made a potluck cake before. I can’t wait to try this.
wowie I feel like I found buried treasure – how easy! good to keep these
This is genius I have an aldi across the street, gonna go grab the ingredients to surprise my husband tonight. I’m sure the kids would love to help too!
I love Aldi’s and you are so lucky to have one across the street from you. The closest one to me is like 25 miles but I still go about 2x a month
That sounds different. Isn’t it kind of sticky from the marshmallow cream?
Easy recipes are the best! Sounds like a winning combination, especially with the marshmallow topping. Thanks for sharing with us at the #HomeMattersParty link party.
I love easy desserts like this. I can make this quickly and my family gets to enjoy a nice treat.
