👩🍳 Directions
1️⃣ Prep & Pan
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line three 9-inch round cake pans with parchment and grease well. These layers are dense and heavy, so prep matters.
- Keep pies chilled until ready to use to help them hold shape inside the batter.
2️⃣ Prepare the Batters
- In three separate bowls, prepare each cake mix according to package directions.
- Optional: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to each batter for added warmth.
3️⃣ Assemble & Bake Layers
Layer 1 (Pumpkin in Spice Cake):
- Pour half of the spice cake batter into a prepared pan.
- Gently place the pumpkin pie into the center, then cover with remaining batter.
- Bake for 60–70 minutes until set and a toothpick comes out clean.
Layer 2 (Cherry in White Cake):
- Repeat the process with the cherry pie and white cake mix. Bake for 55–65 minutes.
Layer 3 (Apple in Yellow Cake):
- Repeat with apple pie and yellow cake mix. Bake for 55–70 minutes.
