Pancake Cake

I wanted to make a cake today but I was out of eggs and butter. So the idea popped into my head to make a pancake cake. I had a box of Lehi Roller Mills buttermilk pancake mix. I thought to myself about the possibility of baking pancake batter rather than frying it in a pan. It was so much easier and fluffier! I love that you don't have to stand over the stove and flip the cakes or burn them. This is way better and you just top with your favorite pancake toppings - I like to top with homemade pie filling.
