I'd like to make this, but don't think I've ever seen one layer cake mix on the shelves. Is there brand name that you use?
Thanks for all this info. Even though I did not ask for it , it really will come in handy. We have been w/o an oven for almost a year now. The toaster oven doesn't cook cake very well.
For the lady wanting to know about mixes for 1 layer cakes: Jiffy makes them. You know that also makes Jiffy cornbread mix?
My daughter brought over this to die for Chocolate Raspberry Cake in the crock pot for Super Bowl! In order on how to layer is from bottom to top:
lightly butter/spray crock
2 cans Raspberry pie filling
1/2 bottle of Raspberry syrup
1 chocolate devilsfood cake mix
1 stick butter
cook on high for two hours
I was thinking of trying it with peach and a white cake mix or maybe an apple with a spice cake mix!
