This recipe came out wonderful... even though I changed several things. I didn't have canned pie filling and I had a Lemon supreme cake mix, not a yellow. But, so remembering another cake recipe from years ago and took some risks... I used a 15oz. container of Ricotta Cheese and increased the amount of applesauce used to make 26oz. of wet ingredients. I used a silicone bundt pan and it came out fantastic! I suspect though, that you must use a high-watt microwave, as baking I've tried in a smaller micro I had several years ago did not come out well. I think the ricotta is a great way to add protein to baked goods, and it probably improved the texture of my cake. The lemon flavor had a real kick to it, which might be enjoyed more by those who mentioned the yellow cake being too bland. I made a simple lemon glaze for it and it disappeared! I took a photo of the finished cake and will upload it this weekend. Thanks for this recipe!
