I love to bake from scratch, there is something fun about starting with a collection of simple ingredients and ending with something fabulous. But sometimes my brain is overworked, I’m tired, or there just aren’t enough hours in a day.

We’ve all been there. In fact I think I live there most of the time. I kid… kind of!

What can you make with a cake mix besides cake?

A cake mix is a great place to start for so many fabulous dessert recipes. You can turn a cake mix into really easy cookies, gooey butter bars, mini cupcakes, whoopie pies and so much more.

Can I make a vanilla cake mix into a chocolate cake?

Yes. If you want to turn a vanilla cake mix into a chocolate cake, just add 1/4 cup cocoa powder to the mix. Add the remaining ingredients from the box or recipe and bake as directed.

For the perfect in between, you can even make your own chocolate cake mix. Make a few at once and store them in your pantry for an easy dessert later.
