Favorite brand of boxed cake mix and why
What's your favorite brand? I've only used Duncan Hines and am thinking of trying a different one. Is any one better than another?
Re: Favorite brand of boxed cake mix and why
Over the last few years I have taken to making scratch cakes rather than using mixes. I used to really like them, but after making scratch cakes, I don't care for them much. Duncan Hines was ALWAYS what I chose and I had tried others.
I always like the thickness of the batter with DH, where Betty Crocker and other brands just seemed too runny. I really think it is all in one's own preferences, but if I have to do a box cake it is always DH.
***disclaimer - had to make a box cake a couple of days ago. I had made a cake from a recipe from Ina Garten and it was wonderful. When I made it as cupcakes they fell apart trying to get them out of a silicone pan. Grabbed a DH dark chocolate cake, added a box of instant pudding and increased the oil by 50%. I also used brewed coffee in place of the water - got lots of compliments!!
