Directions

1) Cut wax paper the size of round 8 or 9 inch pans.
2) Grease the pans and then lay the wax paper down, and then grease the wax paper.
3) Make the cake batter as instructed on the box, however add milk instead of water, and add 5 eggs instead of 3.
***Adding more eggs and milk will make the cake richer and taste like it came from a bakery***
4) Chop up two (2) apples and put them in the batter.
5) Separate the cake batter into the 2 pans and bake at 350 degrees for roughly 20-25min. Check the cake with a toothpick to make sure its cooked fully.

Assembly

5) Crumb coat the rest of the cake and then put in the fridge for 30 minutes.
