Ingredients

2 cup pancake mix
1//2 cup sugar
1/3 cup milk at room temperature
1/2 cup sour cream at room temperature
1 egg at room temperature
1/4 cup butter melted
1 & 1/2 tsp vanilla

Instructions

First start by preheating the oven to 350F, then line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl mix the sugar, milk, sour cream, egg, melted butter, and vanilla until well incorporated. Add in the pancake mix and gently fold just until the dry mixture disappears.
Pour in the prepared baking pan, and bake for 20 minutes or until a wooden skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. The cake will be lightly golden and that's okay, it will stay very moist.
Let the cake cool down completely, then decorate with frosting, whipped cream or anything you'd like to top your cake with. Enjoy!

Notes

This cake recipe is a great way to use your pancake mix. It is very moist but the top will stay light so frost it and decorate it to your liking and serve!
