Cupcake Doctor Recipes Call For An 18.25 Ounce Cake Mix!
Baking By Julie_S Updated 15 Jul 2012 , 2:12pm by sweetscene
Hi All,
In "Cupcakes: from the Cupcake Doctor", Ann Byrne's recipes call for an 18.25 ounce cake mix. All the Betty Crocker mixes in my store are 15.25 ounces. What gives? Do you think a 15.25 ounce mix would work?
Has anybody tried this?
I'm assuming the other brands such as Duncan Hynes and Pillsbury are around 15.25 as well, but I could be wrong.
Thanks!
Julie
So far, Pillsbury is still 18.25. I wonder when they are going to go to "industry standards" (which is double speak for less product for the same price). I don't know if the other will work. I don't use DH or BC.
A lot of CM recipes call for mixes without pudding, so be sure to use either store brands or Duncan Hines. DH Signature cake mixes are still at 18.25 oz. I use French Vanilla when recipes call for white cake mix. This has also been discussed quite a bit on previous posts; try a search for Duncan Hines and you'll see some other ways to get around this change in size.
i had to make 5 doz cupcakes yesterday and didn't realize the 15 oz mistake until they all sunk. I redid them all the second time using my scale and adding the 1.75 oz of cake mix from an extra box of mix. Second batch perfect. Lesson learned.
