2 containers Betty Crocker™ Whipped vanilla frosting
2 cups M&M's® chocolate candies
1 cup M&M's® minis chocolate candies
3/4 cup assorted Betty Crocker™ candy sprinkles

Steps:

Heat oven to 350°F. Grease or spray two 8-inch round cake pans; place 8-inch round piece of cooking parchment paper in bottom of each pan. Grease or spray parchment paper. In large bowl, beat 1 box cake mix and ingredients called for on box with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, then on high speed about 2 minutes or until smooth. Spread in pans.

Meanwhile, repeat to make 2 more layers.
Flatten cake layers by trimming off rounded tops. In 2 layers, cut small round out of center, using 4-inch round cutter.

Tips:

Use fresh, ripe apples. This will give your cake the best flavor and texture.
Peel and core the apples before grating them. This will help to prevent the cake from becoming too dense.
Grate the apples using the large holes of a box grater. This will create a coarse texture that will help the apples hold their shape in the cake.
Be sure to drain the grated apples well before adding them to the batter. This will help to prevent the cake from becoming too wet.
Use a combination of spices to flavor the cake. This will give the cake a complex and flavorful taste.
Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.

Conclusion:

This autumn surprise cake is a delicious and easy-to-make cake that is perfect for fall. The combination of apples, spices, and nuts gives the cake a complex and flavorful taste. The cake is also moist and tender, thanks to the use of sour cream and buttermilk in the batter. This cake is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
