This recipe has a shortcut by using a boxed cake mix. It’s a great sub in a pinch when you don’t feel like measuring out all of the ingredients. If you eat GF, use a GF cake mix. Unfortunately, I do not think this would work with a grain-free variety. We added a bump of baking powder despite the cake mix having a leavener, and I think this helps it all lift.

This makes a 13x9" cake, so it feeds a crowd. It would be lovely with a simple cream cheese glaze, but it packs in a lunchbox as is!

To Whom it May Concern, I used the new yellow cake mix from Trader Joe's.
