I've used cake mix to make cookies before but never heard of making rolls from it. Interesting.

RECIPE: Sub for Coffee in cake roll

I hate coffee, too. You could, of course, just use water instead of coffee. Or a combo of water and a flavor extract like walnut, almond, cinnamon, etc. Or how about using rum, or even brandy? The alcohol would bake away, leaving the flavor in your cake.

RECIPE: the best cake mix?

I already voted for Duncan Hines, but I wanted to share another vote from someone not here. A couple of years ago I took a cake decorating class from the owner of a candy/cake making store. She made the cakes there herself; the store is like a mini Disneyland for candy and cake makers. Anyway, she recommend Duncan Hines mixes (if you are going to use a mix). I took one of the cakes to work one day and someone said she always uses Duncan Hines because it is her favorite.... and come to think of it I think she said it was her mother's favorite too. So there are 3 additional votes for Duncan Hines! Jen

Homemade cake recipe like a cake mix for a Bundt pan

A little Bundt Pan history... The cast-iron kugelhupf pan is common in Europe and in 1950, a group of Minneapolis women asked Nordic Products owner H. David Dalquist to make an aluminum version of the pan. Ten years later, the new Good Housekeeping Cookbook showed a pound cake baked in one, and suddenly every woman wanted a Bundt Pan. The 1966 Pillsbury Bake-Off Contest was won with the "Tunnel of Fudge Cake". If you would like that recipe, I'll be happy to post it. In 1972 the grand prize winner in the Pillsbury Bake-Off Contest was a Bundt Streusel Spice Cake and 11 top winners also called for a bundt pan. I'll see if I have that booklet in my collection. So the Bundt cake pan is a newcomer in kitchens with more than forty million pans in existence in America. Generally, cakes that have too much sugar in them to have good structure are used in recipes using a tube or Bundt pan. Which is different from a standard cake. I located a few recipes at King Arthur (see link below). -Grainlady Here is a link that might be useful: Bundt Cake Recipes - King Arthur Flour

Coincidentally, I've been thinking about cake mixes...on another thread I wrote about making cupcakes for my grandson's birthday. I was just going to buy plain cupcakes and embellish them, because I want some vanilla, chocolate and need some # of gluten free. So I am really not up to making 3 batches of cupcakes (mostly because I hate the clean up in between batches). But then I realized I'd have to get unfrosted premade cupcakes from the bakery and I thought, sheesh, how lazy is that, buying cupcakes then frosting and decorating on my own. I can just whip out the plain cupcakes. A MIX, I'll use a MIX. Then I started searching on this forum for people's favorites and found this thread. And there are some references on the internet to TJ's having cake mixes, but I can't find out if they still do. Does anyone know? I love their pumpkin bread mix and buy a few boxes to last when they pull their seasonal stuff.

Got this recipe for cinnamon rolls from a Tupperware party at least 35 (Gulp!) years ago and it's been a family favorite ever since.

Cinnamon Rolls

2 pkg yeast
2 cups warm water
Box of white cake mix
4 cups flour

Filling

1 stick butter or margarine (melted)
Sugar to your taste *
Cinnamon to your taste *
Walnuts (optional)

Vanilla Frosting

* I keep a big shaker bottle of sugar/cinnamon mixture in the cupboard for toast, cereal, etc., not sure of the exact ratio.

Dissolve 2 pkgs yeast in 2 cups of warm water in large bowl. Add box of cake mix and 4 cups of flour. Mix well. Let rise to double, about one hour (in my oven, just barely turned on).
Roll flour mixture into large rectangle on a floured surface, to about 1/4 to Â½ inch thick. Pour melted butter along center of rectangle and spread to edges until entire surface is covered with butter. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon (I spread it on pretty thick) and add nuts if desired. Very gently roll the rectangle into one (lengthwise) log. I use a floured spatula to lift and roll, lift and roll, etc. Cut roll into 3/4 inch slices. Let your rolls rise for another 45 minutes and bake 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Frost with vanilla frosting while still warm.
