Cake Mix Hacks are super easy and always delicious! Take a box of cake mix and turn it into a recipe masterpiece! Make a cake mix into a homemade dessert!
Do you know some of the best recipes I have ever tasted start with a box of cake mix? Today I am sharing some amazing Cake Mix Hacks and Cake Mix Recipes that will blow you away!
I always have several boxes of cake mixes in the pantry. I’d love to have the time to bake from scratch, but in our busy season of life, that is just not possible.
It really doesn’t bother me too much, because good old Betty Crocker and Duncan Hines do an amazing job at delivering a moist and yummy cake.
Today I want to share something totally out of the “cake” box, literally. I want to share box cake mix recipes that aren’t your traditional cake. They can come in the form of cookies, pancakes, muffins, you name it and I’m going to be sharing it today.
The one thing that they have in common is that they are always easy to follow recipes and they use ingredients that you keep in the pantry and fridge most of the time.
These make great recipes for older kids to try their hand at this summer. They also taste amazing, so good luck choosing what you want to try. Or you can try them all, just don’t blame me if your swimsuit is a little snug.
Let’s see those delicious cake mix recipes…

This is so smart, because cinnamon rolls from scratch can be super time consuming.
These look amazing and this recipe saves you a few steps that you would have had to add if making them purely from scratch. They don’t look like are missing any sticky sweet flavor. Look at that icing… yum!
These are perfect for the summer holidays. Tastes of Lizzy T made these patriotic cake mix jello cookies.
I love how vibrant and fun they are. The kids would polish these off in a matter of minutes at my house.
I have to tell you, though… that whipped frosting is calling my name!
The best part about these cookies is that they are made with cream cheese, so they stay nice and soft and chewy for a long time. Although, I doubt that gets tested much.

It was hard to pick, but this was by far my favorite cake mix breakfast!
Baking Beauty has whipped up a tall stack of fun with these Cake Batter Funfetti Pancakes. I am partial to whip cream and sprinkles, but the pancakes have the consistency of pancakes, but taste just like birthday cake.
