I know I have mentioned it many times before on my blog that I can’t bake to save my life (ha ha). I would very much LOVE to make cakes and cookies from scratch, or close to it, but I never have any luck. I am a great cook but a horrible baker. Thankfully my husband does well in the baking department.
Whenever my family is having a get together I’m usually quick to voluteer bringing a veggie platter and dip, that way I don’t have to be embarrassed by bringing a lame boxed cake. Besides, my sister is a fantastic baker and always blows us away with her lovely creations. There is no way I can compete with that.
Now, thanks to Duncan Hines, I CAN create a dessert to share with my family that can stand up against my sister’s amazing cakes.
Ducan Hines has a line of Decadent Cake Mixes that will make it seem like you spent hours in the kitchen creating this tasty masterpiece when the reality is that its a box mix that took less then 45 from start to finish.
For Thanksgiving I made the Triple Chocolate Decadent Cake Mix. Not only does it have the cake mix but it also came with fudge sauce and chocolate chips. Its a chocolate lovers dream cake!
As an added bonus the cake doesn’t contain any trans fat or hydrogentate oils.
To make my cake even more spectacular I used one of the Ducan Hines Amazing Glazes to top off my cake.
WOW! Talk about easy. All I had to do was pop the bottle of Amazing Glaze (I used Vanilla) into the microwave for a few seconds, then drizzle it over my cake. Its totally up to you whether or not you want to just drizzle a little on or a lot. I opted for a little. The left over glaze you can store in the fridge.
Check out my cake! Doesn’t it look delish?
The cake was (it’s long gone!) SO GOOD! The triple chocolate cake was one of the best chocolate cakes I have ever had. The kids loved the chocolate chips inside. You don’t even need a glaze with this cake. Its perfect on its own.
The Amazing Glaze added an extra boost of sweetness to the cake, not to mention a cool appearance (it looks like a fancy Oreo! LOL).
Thanks to Duncan Hines and their Decadent Cake Mix and Amazing Glaze I was able to make a cake I was proud to serve to my family, and it took no time at all and with very little effort.
The Decadent Cake Mix is also available in Apple Caramel and Classic Carrot Cake. The Amazing Glazes are currently only available in Chocolate or Vanilla. I was going to try chocolate but I thought it would have been chocolate overkill with the triple chocolate cake.
Both the mixes and glazes are found in grocery stores across the country.
This holiday season why not bake a decadent cake with a perfectly sweet glaze to “wow” your holiday guests. Or consider giving a cake as a gift to a neighbor or co-worker.
