Here are 8 easy cake mix recipes you can easily make starting with boxed cake mixes! Cake mixes are cheap and already include a lot of the basic ingredients you use for many kinds of baking, so using them can make a perfect shortcut to make your baking easier!
We sometimes hear from readers who avoid boxed cake mixes because they think boxed mixes are somehow too institutional to make great baked goods, but that is far from the truth! Boxed cake mixes include the same basic ingredients necessary to make other baked goods, so they can actually be a great starting point for other delicious recipes. You can use cake mixes to make cookies, waffles, brownies, banana bread, muffins and more!
Cake Mixes can be found SUPER cheap after the holidays! I usually find them 90% off for $0.15-.$0.30 each. That price is as cheap as just buying flour so I stock up and use them for my everyday baking.
Here are 8 easy boxed cake mix recipes, along with lots of wonderful variations to help you use all those wonderful cake mixes!

Thank you for the cake mix mug recipe. But do you happen to have the icing recipe for 1 cake mix mug recipe?
Just beat 2 Tbsp. of butter, add 1 cup of powdered sugar, 1/4 tsp vanilla and small pinch of salt. Then add 1 tsp. of milk (you can use water too)and mix. If it is to thick add a tiny bit more milk and if to thin add more powdered sugar until you get the right consistency.
Add a small amount at a time when adjusting.
I can’t wait to try these thanks , do you have some recipes for instant pudding
You are welcome Cheri. The only pudding recipe we have is where you make it from scratch and cook it not the instant where you just beat in the milk. Here is the one we have which is pretty easy. Chocolate Pudding
I’ve really enjoyed looking through these recipes. My mother and I are both cake decorators and have always used boxed cake mixes. Her reasoning is that these big companies have done all the research and testing- who are we to think we can do better? It’s usually so true- at least with me. I will be stocking up on cake mixes this winter to try out your recipes!
That is so true Jeanne. My mom decorated wedding cakes and things too and she always used box mixes. I myself use box mixes because it seems most scratch cakes are often heavy or something like that but the boxed ones always turn out.
Thank you for sharing these recipes… I am going to try the mug cake first… I have always wanted to try a mug cake LOL
I am going to send this email to my mom and sister!!! 😊
I needed breakfast for my kids and only had a cake mix that I could find ! I mixed it all up and put it on a greased rectangular cookie sheet and sprinkled miniature chocolate chip over the top and baked it @350 for 15 minutes delicious and my kids loved it!
Can I add marachino Cherries to cake mix to make loaf cake
I like the suggestions for the quick bread mixes, and I noticed that you had put down the ingredients but what type of cake mix would you pair with those?
I love all of these suggestions for our cabin. Easy, simple, and delicious.!
