Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly coat 2 (8-inch) nonstick pans with cooking spray.

  2. In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat together the cake mix, oil, eggs, and water. (If mixing by hand, beat vigorously for 2 minutes.)

  3. Divide batter evenly among the prepared pans. Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pans. Cool completely before proceeding.

  4. Cut a 3 1/2-inch hole from the center of one cake layer. Set aside.

  5. Score a 3 1/2-inch circle in the center of the other cake layer, then scoop out the middle without going all the way to the bottom. Transfer this layer to a serving plate. Spread 1/2 cup of the frosting on the scooped-out layer cake (but not inside the hole.) Place the first cake layer on top.

  6. Pour the M&Ms inside the hole.
