Creating Cake Recipes With Cake Mix

If you are someone who feels that they must follow instructions of any kind “to the letter”, you probably haven’t ever conceived of relying on cake recipes with cake mix as an ingredient. For instance, there are all kinds of Recipes For “pina colada” cakes that use cake mix along with a range of other ingredients to result in a fruit flavored cake that is also quite sturdy too. Such recipes never follow those printed on the boxes of cake mix, but instead count on the different properties of the mixes to create excellent results.

Is this going to result in a cake that is somehow superior to the original version? Often, someone will rely on a cake mix based recipe in order to create a bit of a sturdier version of a cake that can stand up to a certain type of frosting. For instance, if someone really loves a particular variety of yellow cake mix, but finds that it is just too light and fluffy to be frosted with fondant or a heavier icing, they might search for a recipe that relies on this mix as a base, but which creates a stronger and more durable result.

Another reason that a lot of recipes use a cake mix as a base is to incorporate a few different flavors that will allow the cake to really stand out from the frosting or icing. For instance, coffee, liqueur, chocolate, and fruit flavors are often incorporated into a cake mix in order to “dress it up” and to allow it to be used in a formally decorated cake.

Before going ahead and making a cake that uses one of the many different mixes as a base, it is probably a wise idea to simply master cake making in general. It is very interesting to note how so much of baking is similar to a chemistry experiment and that only a few slight changes can make for a totally different outcome. If you are someone who is enthusiastic about cake decorating, you should really spend the time mastering cake making basics in order to understand which cake “bodies” will give you the best results every time. This includes understanding the ingredients, the right pans to use for the batter, and the amount of time necessary for the cake to cool and settle properly.

In fact, a lot of professional bakers have a standard “repertoire” of cake bodies that they turn to on a regular basis, and often such recipes rely on cake mixes because they can really streamline the baking process and even help to keep costs down too. Just consider that a baker who has mastered cake making, who understands the chemistry behind a specific recipe, and who has tested a few mixes, will know precisely how to design the perfect batter for the type of decorating that they hope to do.

Using cake mixes is never cheating, it is simply relying on an ingredient that can provide somewhat predictable results, which is a real bonus to anyone who enjoys making and decorating cakes of all kinds.

The Quick Recipe $18.86 2004 James Beard Award Winner for the General Category The Quick Recipe is the result of thousands of hours of testing to determine the techniques that deliver big flavor in less time–all from scratch. Starting with building block recipes for basic quick cooking techniques such as sautéing, grilling, or stir-frying, the editors of Cook’s Illustrated developed more than 300 flavorful recipes, including honey-glazed pork loin with fennel and carrots, lemon pudding cake, stir-fried chicken with green beans in spicy orange sauce, and 30-minute tart tatin. Each recipe requires less than 60 minutes (many less than 30) from ingredient prep and assembly through cooking and/or cooling, and most recipes require 10 or fewer ingredients. In addition to developing quick recipes that do not sacrifice taste, the editors have identified supermarket ingredients that save time without sacrificing flavor. More than 200 illustrations provide shortcuts for techniques, including shaping biscuits and scones, stuffing chicken breasts, or seeding tomatoes. All 309 of the recipes in this 464-page, hardcover cookbook are new to The Best Recipe Series, and 85 have never appeared in Cook’s magazine.

The Best Make-Ahead Recipe $23.09 No time to cook after work? Want to stock your freezer with oven-ready meals? Can’t stand all the last minute work associated with entertaining? The Best Make-Ahead Recipe will put you in control of all your cooking with recipes specifically engineered to the make-ahead approach. Sure, you can make your favorite dishes to heat later, but once food is refrigerated or frozen, flavor and texture suffer–pasta turns mushy, meat dries out, and almost everything tastes less than fresh. Built from the ground up, these make-ahead recipes are guaranteed to withstand storage and reheating without compromise. Make-ahead dishes like frozen lasagna and macaroni and cheese will come out of the oven just as saucy and cheesy as fresh-baked; stuffed chicken breasts will cook up juicy and tender even after two days in the fridge; and your make-ahead mashed potatoes will be so creamy and fresh-tasting your guests will think you’ve just mashed them over a hot stove. The test kitchen also provides precise instructions on scaling recipes up or down as well as detailed reheating instructions that won’t leave you guessing. A lifesaver for busy families, The Best Make-Ahead Recipe will give you the recipes, tips, and techniques to plan and cook ahead–whether you are hosting a dinner party or want to put fresh-tasting food on the table every night of the week. COOK NOW AND SAVE TIME LATER OVEN-READY ENTREES THAT WON’T DISAPPOINT Have you been tempted by the convenience of ready-to-cook breaded stuffed chicken breasts at the supermarket? They might look good, but once cooked, the breading becomes soggy and the fillings taste bland. The Test Kitchen shows you how to pretoast bread crumbs for a guaranteed crunchy crust, and for the filling they rely on a highly seasoned mixture of cheeses and fresh herbs, whose flavors won’t become muted. BAKED GOODS THAT GO FROM FREEZER TO OVEN Most make-ahead coffeecakes are baked and then frozen, which can result in a dry texture. Here is a sturdy coffeecake batter (with an extra egg and additional butter) that can be either refrigerated or frozen right in the cake pan. When ready to serve, simply pop it into the oven, and in no time you’ll get a fresh-baked coffeecake with a moist, tender crumb. MEALS THAT DO DOUBLE DUTY Turn Sunday night’s Braised Brisket into Monday night’s quick and heartyToasted French Dip Sandwiches or an easy Meat Ragu. These double-duty recipes offer a variety of family-friendly weekend cooking options that will give you a headstart on organizing your weeknight meals. You’ll never look at leftovers the same way again. SLOW-COOKER FAVORITES YOU’LL REALLY WANT TO EAT The problem with slow-cooker stews is that by the time the meat becomes fork-tender, the vegetables have turned mushy and dull. For the Test Kitchen’s beef stew, they found that wrapping the carrots and potatoes in a foil packet and placing the packet on top of the stew allows the vegetables to cook up just right and retain their b
