"Another one of my 3-layer desserts that takes only minutes to prepare. This particular cake mix comes with a packet of glaze and it's own swirl mix. Using the cake mix as a crust this makes a beautiful and tasty dessert. This is my own crowd pleasing dessert. {Note: The name of the boxed cake mix is Pillsbury Cinnamon Swirl Quick Bread & Coffee cake mix. The ingredients look confusing as if 2 different cakes. Just one long name}."
