I'm a good baker and like the Duncan Hines products, always benefitted from the recipes on the spine of the box which have now been removed, which it can be put back. Thanks

I agree I miss the different recipes on the spine of the box also!

Reinstating the recipes on the box is a great way to encourage us, as home bakers, to try new things for our families and use some of the new products Duncan Hines comes out with as incorporated into the recipe.

I want to make a Spice Pound Cake but don't know which instant pudding I should use? Vanilla maybe? Then what kind of frosting for the glaze? Thanks for your help!

People love this... with a simple scalded milk, powdered sugar, and a tad of almond extract glaze? Beautiful thing! :)

I think I'll try that on my Almond Pound cake. Sounds yummy!

This is a very good & easy recipe. I used the Duncan Hines Amazing Glaze to top this cake. I have used a variation of this recipe to make a lemon-blueberry bundt cake. You use a lemon flavored cake mix, lemon juice & zest with fresh bluberries when they are in season. A wonderful tasting & easy to make dessert.

I made this last week, so know this recipe is a keeper. I'll try the glaze suggestions next time although it needs nothing as it is.

AMAZING recipe. I also followed the recipe as is for the cake. I topped it with a vanilla almond glaze (confectioners sugar, evaporated milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, & almond extract), and toasted almonds for garnish. All my coworkers RAVED about how gorgeous it looked, and tasted. I even received several requests for future events. This will definitely be a keeper for me!

This was awesome.... I followed the recipe for the cake but made an Almond sryup, with some almond liquier, sugar, butter, water and brought it to a boil and cooked for a couple of mins... poured it over the hot cake in the pan and it was to die for... I will be making this one again....Even better the next day!!!!!

How did you make the almond syrup. I have one that calls for 1 cup water, 1 cup sugar, and 2 sticks of butter. I thought that was a bit much butter. Be interested in knowing yours. thanks

I want to add instant pudding mix (sm box) to the Banana Cake Mix. Do I need to change any of the amts of the other ingredients when I do this? will the baking time be the same?
Comment by: jdsmith (no discussions) on Feb 14, 2012 at 01:58 PM
No, you can use any D,H. cake mix and add the pudding of your choice. My grandmother and great aunts also use jello in their cake mixes...esp. in the summer for strawberry, orange, etc.
I just made a pound/bundt cake using D.H. yellow cake mix, strawberry instant jello and an instant white choc. pudding jello. I added some food coloring and will add a choc. glaze for Valentines day. This is a very easy cake and you can make lots of combinations. I also use melted butter in place of the oil from time to time.

Very good. My whole family loved it. It was actually better the next day. Go ahead and bake it for friends, church family, or afternoon brunch there won't be any left.

Absolutely LOVE this cake! It's super easy but better yet, it's one of the most moist and light cakes I've ever made. I add slightly more almond extract as my family is crazy about almond.

I made this cake minus the almonds to go into an English Trifle. I added almonds to the top of the dessert. So wonderful with all the fresh fruit and custard...... Made it super special

Can you make this is a 9 x 13 pan if so for how long?
Comment by: podec (2 discussions) on Feb 20, 2011 at 02:08 PM
Since this recipe says 40-45 for a Bundt pan & the cake box says 43-48 for a Bundt, you could just follow the timing for a 13x9 & bake 32-35 min as the box states. I'd give it the toothpick test at 30 min & then just add a couple minutes at a time if it's not done at 30 min.
Might not have the same density or crumb if baked in a shallow pan though.

Should I mix Instant chocolate Pudding with Classic Yellow Mix?
Comment by: ShannyCakes (no discussions) on Jun 27, 2011 at 10:56 AM
Yes, mixing instant chocolate pudding with a yellow cake mix makes a wonderful, moist pound cake. After baking and taking out of the pan, glaze with confectioner's sugar and a little milk. I used to make these for my grandmother many years ago and it was her favorite cake.

Just made this today with what i had in the house. Used a french vanilla cake mix, cheesecake pudding and omitted the sliced almonds. I baked it in 2 8" cake pans. The tops I cut off to make flat tasted awesome, even warm right out of the oven!!! Going to use powdered sugar with a Christmas stencil to decorate. Can't wait to try the finished product at the Christmas parties.

I downloaded this recipe, I omited this almond flavoring and added a small can of Almond paste. The Entire Can. It makes the cake additive! Your guest will be drawn back to the cake again & agian until all the crumbs are gone. I do not use a frosting, just a dusting of powder sugar through a sifter.
I also sprinkle a few almond slices in the botton of the pan before adding the cake mix, Makes a pretty top.

This is a wonderful recipe. I used Duncan Hines Butter recipe cakemix. The extra butter flavor added to the flavor. We had 25 people over for dessert. The cake was a hit.

This cake is the best for most any occasion. The only change I make is that I make a half recipe of butter cream frosting using a half teaspoon of almond flavoring thined to pouring consistency by putting in microwave for 30 seconds or so and then drizzle over the top of the cake. Once the frosting in on the cake I top the cake with two tablespoons of sliced almonds. I usuall serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. My grandchildren, their parents, and our friends all rave about this cake.

This is a great recipe and so easy to make! I had bought a box of Duncan Hines white cake mix in error about a week ago and instead of returning it for another variety, I did a search thru the DH website and decided on this recipe. This cake was a hit - moist, flavorful and yummy!

I've been making this recipe for over two years and it is a big hit in the office. I get a request for it at least twice a month. It's moist and light with just a hint of almond.
