What Makes this Apple Spice Cake Easy to Make?


This cake is easy to make since you are using a pre-made cake mix. Also since the topping uses canned apple pie filling this will help save time. Then the use of the instant pot tops off the baking with ease.

What if I Don’t Have an Instant Pot, Can I Still Make This Cake?

If you don’t have an instant pot, you can still make this cake. It might look a little different but the outcome will be the same taste-wise. Instead of using a springform pan you can use 2-8 inch round pans, and split the batter between the 2.

Directions for Apple Spice Cake in the Oven

You Will Need the following ingredients for the cake in the oven (not instant pot)
  • 1 Cup (250 mL) Water
  • 1/3 (80 mL) Cup Vegetable Oil
  • 3 Large Eggs
  1. PREHEAT oven to 180°C (350° F) for metal and glass pan(s), 165°C (325°F) for dark or coated pan(s).*
  2. GREASE sides and bottom of the pan(s) and flour lightly. Use baking cups for cupcakes.
  3. BLEND cake mix, water, oil, and eggs in a large bowl at low speed until moistened (about 30 seconds).
  4. BEAT at medium speed for 2 minutes.
  5. POUR batter in pan(s) and bake immediately.
  6. BAKE in the center of the oven following the chart below. *Add 3-5 minutes to bake time for dark or coated pan(s). The cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. COOL cake(s) in pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Remove cake(s) from pan and cool completely before frosting.
  8. Once you have done the above instructions, you can follow the recipe card below for your cinnamon frosting, and topping.
  9. You will NOT have to cut your cake in 2 because you will have made 2 round cakes. Just make sure to skim off the top of each cake so they lay flat against each other.
