COPYCAT DUNCAN HINES BOXED CAKE MIX



Copycat Duncan Hines Boxed Cake Mix image

This cake tastes like a boxed white cake mix only better, it has never failed me yet, it is a recipe that I use over and over again for the *perfect* white cake, and so easy to make too! really anything can be addded to this cake, tiny chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruit, add in some food colouring for a pastel coloured cake with matching frosting, this makes a wonderful birthday cake!--------- * NOTE* as one reviewer stated they omitted the salt, omitting the salt will change the texture of this cake completely, so please do *not* omit, using butter-flavor Crisco is acceptable but will alter the taste somewhat but not the texture ;-)

  • Follow the recipe carefully: Don't skip any steps or substitute ingredients unless you know what you're doing. A small change can make a big difference in the outcome of your cake.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake at the right temperature: The temperature of the oven is critical for a successful cake. Make sure to preheat the oven to the correct temperature before baking the cake.
  • Don't open the oven door while the cake is baking: Opening the oven door during baking can cause the cake to fall. Only open the door to check on the cake in the last few minutes of baking.
