Oh honey...
you are going to want to save this recipe
to add to your favorites!
I came across this little gem on Pinterest
the other day and what caught my attention
is that this is made with a can of PIE FILLING!!!!



Choose any flavor you wish and it comes together
with few ingredients, smells incredible while baking
and it's gonna go fast....absolutely delicious

1 ¼ Cups sugar, divided

¾ Cup vegetable oil

4 eggs

½ tsp. vanilla

2 Cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp. baking powder

½ tsp. salt

1 can (15 ¾ oz.) any fruit pie filling, even lemon pie filling

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a 13x9" or 11 ¾ x 7 ½" baking dish 

In a stand mixing bowl, combine 1 cup sugar, oil, and vanilla; mix well. 
 Add eggs; beat until lightly lemon-colored. 

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. With mixer on low, add the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Give it a final stir by hand to make sure the flour isn't stuck at the bottom of the bowl.

Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan. Carefully top with the pie filling, smooth to the edges with the back of a large spoon. Pour the rest of the batter over the top of the pie filling.

Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup sugar over the top of the cake, then bake for 30-40 minutes, until the top is golden brown. Cool on a wire rack in the pan.

This would be lovely to serve for a weekend morning breakfast.
having a friend over for coffee, your book club or bridge group!
