Well, this was quite tasty and moist! I followed the directions exactly, but after the five minutes of waiting after the twelve mins in the microwave, it still was all little raw and gooey so I stuck it back in the microwave for a minute and it was great! I did the yellow cake mix with apple pie filling, and I put some walnuts on the bottom of the pan, and it added a little crunch to it that I think it neeeded. All in all, great recipe! I'll definitely use again!

Microwaves and cakes do not mix... it was edible, but no WOW factor.

I used a red velvet cake mix with a can of cherry pie filling. I was not impressed, neither was my husband (who never passes up sweets). It had a rubbery texture to it. I was really excited to see this because we are currently remodeling and without an oven, but this one just didn't work for me.

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!

Wow, who knew a microwave cake would actually come out!?!?! I used spice cake and apple pie filling and added 1/2 cup brown sugar and a cup of pecans to the mixture. Holy moly, it was so moist and delicious! I know there are several varieties of pie fillings...I can't wait to try more combinations! YAY! So happy to have stumbled across this little gem! :o)

I used a spice cake mix and a 15oz. can of pumpkin. Next time I will add a little cinnamon and spices. Very good, just lacking a little. Also, I drizzled carmel sauce over the hot cake. Yum!!!

Quick and easy. The pie filling is the key to what makes this cake moist and helps to make it better in that it is a microwave recipe. Even better with frosting. I personally do not like boxed cake flavor so it wasn't for me.

So far I have tried the following combinations: chocolate cake mix with cherry pie filling, white cake mix with strawberry pie filling, and yellow cake mix with apple pie filling and cinnamon. All three times it has turned out wonderfully. If you are looking for a unique way to serve it, try this: CAKE IN A COFFEE MUG~ Mix your favorite microwave cake combo. Spray a coffee mug with cooking spray. For mugs that hold a 1 cup fluid capacity add 1/2 cup batter. Microwave for 1 min 40 seconds. Let sit aprox 5 minutes in or out of microwave. Great in the mug, but easy to pop out as well. (makes 10 & 1/2 mugs worth) For 1 1/2 cup or larger capacity mugs use 3/4 cup batter and microwave for 2 min and let sit for 5. (Makes 7 mugs worth). Note, the first time I tried the regular recipe, I used a silacone pan but not a bundt pan. It turned out ok, but was a little gooey in the center. I didn't have that problem when I used the bundt pan the next two times. It's not a problem with the mugs as they are so small.

Quick and super-easy... I made a variation, with spice cake mix and apple pie filling, with chopped walnuts in the bottom of the pan before pouring in the batter. Excellent!

This was such a simple recipe!! I needed a quick last minute dessert and this fit the bill. I did bake in the oven for 40 min at 350 instead of microwaving. It turned out moist and scrumptious. I did add a Tbl of cinnamon. Why didn't I think of this recipe sooner??!!!

I was quite surprised with how good this was. I ecpected it to turn out rubbery but tried it anyway because it sounded so easy (and inexpensive). Glad I did. I made the chocolate cake using a devils food cake mix (with pudding in the mix), a can of cherry pie filling, eggs, applesauce and added almond extract. (The almond flavor was really good with the chocolate and cherries.) I baked it in a soft-sided silicone bundt pan and the cake came out easily. I think the success of this recipe probably depends on your microwave oven. It worked for me, and I'll be making it again. Thanks!

This didn't work for me. Maybe it depends on the microwave? It got very done in some parts and not done at all in others, even though I turned it. It didn't taste the greatest either.

This recipe is a great base. After reading others comments, I still went ahead and made the apple cake, but I also added a tablespoon of sugar and cinnamon(each), a grated apple, and 1/4 cup of cinnamon applesauce. It came out great!! Tastes just like my grandmothers except it was soooo easy!! Thanks!!

This was very good. I also like lemon cake with lemon pie filling (dusted with powdered sugar!). Thank you for posting this very easy recipe. Great when the kids are in the mood for cake, but I don't have much time...

The chocolate cake with cherry pie filling is delicious. To frost this cake I take 1 cup of chocolate chips melt them in the microwave just until melted then add half small container ( 250 ml) of sour cream to melted chocolate chips

I made the yellow cake/apple pie filling variety and we didn't care for it for much. It was okay, but not something I'd make again. The only reason I gave it four stars is the convenience. You sure can't beat that. Maybe one of the other varieties would be better, but I'll pass on the yellow cake/apple combo. Too bland!
