First in a large bowl let's add in our two large eggs. Then beat them with a whisk for a few seconds.

Now let's add in our oil and our milk and then mix really well with the whisk. You can certainly use a fork or spoon or something else.

Next we add in our cake mix. I am using a funfetti cake mix, but you can use whatever cake mix flavor you want. :) Mix that in with the batter. Now add in additional milk as desired. I wound up using the full amount of milk in the end. If you want thicker pancakes use a little less milk, if you want thinner pancakes you can add even more milk. :) Now that our batter is done, let's take it over to the stovetop.

Preheat and Cooking

Now preheat your skillet or your griddle. If you are using a griddle set it to 350 F or 176 C. If using the stove set the heat to medium heat. Spray the surface with some cooking spray. Next use a ladle, spoon, or measuring cup and add some batter to the middle of your pan or on the griddle you will be able to get more then one.

Cook and Flip

Now let the pancake cake sit and cook for a few minutes until you see little bubbles form on the top and the edges will look dull. Flip that cake over with a spatula and cook the other side. The other side will take less time about a 1 minute or so. Now check that other side, should be nice and golden brown. It is done! Put that pancake on a plate and cook up the rest of them.

Toppings and Serve

It's toppings time! You can use whatever you want for the toppings, I chose to add some cool whip and some sprinkles. :) You could layer frosting or whipped cream or cool whip in between each pancake, add a classic glaze, syrup, whatever you want to do. These are fairly sweet, so I wouldn't go too overboard with the sugar. lol :) Plop some candles in it for a birthday cake breakfast! :) Enjoy!
