Notes

For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free cake mix. Spice cake mix or butter pecan cake mix can be substituted for yellow cake mix. To prevent a soggy cake, place a paper towel under the lid to absorb excess condensation. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of extra caramel sauce.
