Australian amateur bakers have invented the ‘world’s easiest cake recipe’ using just two ingredients: pre-made vanilla or golden butter mix and a tin of apple slices in juice.

Forget butter, milk and eggs, this homegrown dessert gets its ‘moist’ middle from the extra juice inside the apples – and it can be whipped up for less than $4.

‘After seeing a lot about the “two Ingredient cake” and reading everyone’s hot tips I had to try it,’ one woman wrote on Facebook.

‘Omg thought I would get on the bandwagon with everyone else and try this two ingredient cake mix and to my surprise it’s the best cake ever,’ another woman said.

‘It was a real hit. I’ll definitely make this again, and warm with custard would make a fabulous dessert,’ she said.
