This is how to make an easy as pie filling cake. If you need to make a great dessert in a pinch, this is it! It takes about 10 minutes to mix this all up and pour into the pan. I have made this cake several times now and each time everyone raves over it. You can make many variations of this recipe just by switching the cake, filling and marshmallow flavors around.
For my daughter’s birthday cake I used: strawberry marshmallows rolled in 1 Tbsp strawberry gelatin powder mixed with 1 Tbsp water (optional idea for added flavor), lemon pie filling, lemon extract, lemon zest in the filling, white cake mix, more strawberry heart marshmallows on top, fresh lemon zest on top and candy pearls to make it cute.
Ingredients
-4 cups mini-marshmallows
-1 box cake mix (any flavor you wish)
-1 can pie filling (any flavor you wish)
-extract to go with cake filling (ie. cherry if you have cherry filling) *optional
-1 large container of Cool Whip
Instructions
1) Pour mini-marshmallows into a greased 9×13 inch cake pan (light colored pans work best)
2) Prepare cake mix according to package
3) Pour cake batter over marshmallows in pan
4) Mix in 1 tsp extract into pie filling to help boost flavor (optional)
5) Spoon pie filling evenly over top of cake batter.
