A Mix But Still From Scratch
While many boxed cake mix recipes call for other boxed ingredients like instant puddings, a can of soda, or other processed ingredients, we believe that your homemade mix can easily be added to creations free of over-processed ingredients.
The best part is that these recipes can be made from simple ingredients and even feature things like your homemade jams, canned fruits, dried fruits, and more.
