Storage Instructions:

Store it in a covered dish in the fridge and eat it within 5 days. It should still be safe to eat after that but it will begin to dry out and the texture won’t be as good.

Variations and Substitutions:

This is literally one of the most adaptable cake recipes there is. You get to pick the cake mix flavor, the pie filling flavor, and then just mix those with eggs. So you can come up with your own flavor combinations.
