There’s something wonderfully simple about the Are You Kidding Me Cake that makes it an absolute favorite in my recipe collection. With just three ingredients, lemon cake mix, eggs, and cherry pie filling—this cake is a testament to how easy it can be to create something delicious with minimal effort.
It’s one of those recipes that surprises everyone with its delightful flavor, considering how straightforward it is.
I first stumbled upon this cake during a busy week when I needed a quick dessert that wouldn’t compromise on taste. The result was a moist, flavorful cake with a vibrant cherry swirl that had everyone asking for seconds.
What’s fantastic about this recipe is its versatility; you can switch up the fruit filling or add a glaze if you’re feeling extra indulgent.
And if you’re looking for a delightful way to cool down, pair this cake with my Oat Milk Ice Cream for a creamy, dairy-free treat that complements the cake perfectly.
