Betty Crocker Choc. Fudge Cake Mix 15.25 oz. (432 g)

One of our favourites, tastes lovely chocolatey, airy and light .

Lovely cake with easy instructions. Loved it.

Useful and dead easy to make (just whip the content of the packet at high speed for 2mn with 3 eggs, 1 cup water and 2/3 cups oils - the recipe says 1/2 cup but I find the results are better with a bit more oil. I also add a pinch of salt). The resulting sponge is moist and billowy light, in a way which I have never been able to replicate by mixing my home recipe (and I've been a keen cook and baker for over 20 years).However: there is a 'but'. Like all Betty Crocker ready made mixes the mix is awfully sweet. It really needs something to cut the sweetness. I couldn't eat it as it is. So here are (in my experience) three good options:a) after you've poured the batter in a 22cm tin, add pear or apple halves (you garnish the whole surface), then sprinkle with flaked almonds and bake for about 40-45mn at 150°C in a fan oven. The fruit will sink, the cake will rise high. You want to stop the baking before the middle is totally baked. This way when you slice it (after having cooled it) you get a custardy mix in the centre which is delectable. I also use the mix to make muffins and add fresh blueberries or grated apple (about 3-4 for the packet).b) add coffee granules or unsweetened cocoa to the mix and make a coffee or chocolate cake (with streusel for the first, icing/filling for the second).c) use a fairly bitter chocolate filling.Any of these yields excellent results. Hope this helps!

I'd often seen recipes for Dump Cakes, which I'd thought was a strange title, open to different interpretations. However, I saw a recipe for an Apple Dump Pudding using Betty Crocker Yellow Cake Mix. We can buy several Betty Crocker Cake mixes here in the UK, but for some reason, not Yellow Cake mix, so I had to send away for it. The delivery was very quick and arrived in good condition. I made my Dump Pudding and it was delicious. I still have half the cake mixture left to make another pudding, this time with a different fruit. I'm glad I can buy this product on Amazon but can't understand why it's not available in our Supermarkets.

Betty Crockers cake mixes are second only to Duncan Hines. Quick and easy to use for when there' just isn't time for a 'from scratch' cake. A few hacks and nobody will know ;)

Perfect ☺️
