19 Layer Cake

Servings – 14 Prep Time – 20 Minutes Cook Time – 30 Minutes Ingredients:

• 1 Duncan Hines cake mix, flavor of your choice

• 1 cup water

• 1/3 cup canola oil

• 3 eggs

• 1 instant vanilla pudding mix, if making a chocolate cake use chocolate pudding.

• 2 cans chocolate frosting, or your favorite flavor

  
  

Directions:

Mix the cake mix, water, pudding mix, oil and eggs in a large bowl until just combined.

Pour 1/3 cup of pancake batter onto nonstick skillet sprayed with cooking spray.

Cook over medium to medium low heat in a skillet, or until the edges start to dry out and a few bubbles form, gently flip over and cook until golden brown. These cook about 2-4 minutes per side.

Place on cooling rack to cool completely.

Repeat with remaining mixture until all layers are made. Try to make sure all layers are the same size. You should end up with 10 total.

Place the first cake layer on a plate. Smear a thin layer of frosting all the way to the edges.

Place another cake later on top. Repeat steps until all cake layers are stacked.

Frost cake with remaining frosting starting on the top layer working your way down the sides of the cake to the base; spread frosting liberally.

Smooth out edges and lines until you are satisfied with the way it looks.

Notes:

Decorate with sprinkles, fresh fruit, frosting decorations (if you want to be creative), mini chocolate chips. chopped nuts, chopped candy bar pieces. The possiblities are endless. Play with your food and have fun decorating!

Mix up your pudding flavors for an extra kick! Try banana with yellow cake mix, coconut with white cake mix, chocolate with chocolate or red velvet cake mix, or vanilla with spiced cake mix.
