I used the berry medley pie filling to the top of the cake, the flavor was delicious. However, the bottom of the cake was extra soggy compared to the top, a lot of the milk went straight to the bottom instead of in the cake, maybe it was too much milk.

There are many things that can be done to this cake. Use your favorite flavor of coffee creamer in place of the whole milk and you can give the cake an individual flavor. Coconut milk is also an option. Mix 3 packages (8 oz.) softened cream cheese with 1 large container of regular frosting for the icing. Make it a layer cake and put a layer of caramel between each layer and then the milk won't run through... Let your imagination run wid with this base recipe.

After I made this a few times I did find that the white cake mix didn't hold up too good with the milk so I changed it to pound cake... To make a sheet cake I used 3 pound cake mixes, made how the box says, after it cooled poke with holes and the pour milk over it.. Pound cake works a whole lot better!
