21 Easy Cake Mix Hacks
Let’s talk about cake mix hacks! My pantry has its own boxed cake mix section because I use cake mix a lot in recipes. Once in awhile, I’ll follow the directions on the back of the box and use the product like its intended. That can get pretty boring though! Instead, I’ve been using cake mix as an ingredient in recipes. It can really jazz up a dessert and turn it into something special. Cake mix is for more than just cake!
The question is what can’t you make with cake mix? Ok don’t answer that! But really, there’s so many ways you can incorporate cake mix into your baking. On my blog, I’ve been sharing a whack of cake mix hacks recently. I bought a bunch of boxes of cake mixes for $1 and had to use them up.
I made cobbler, fudge, bars, cookies, a dump cake and more. If you search Pinterest for cake mix hacks, you’ll find a tonne of recipes! I’ve narrowed it down to 21 easy cake mix hacks with a few of my own and other yummy looking recipes I want to try.

I’d love to hear about your experience using cake mix in recipes. Do you ever make cake mix hacks?
Thanks so much for sharing these recipes with cake mix as the base. They sound great – thank you!
I am anxious to try the cake mix cobbler.Sounds delicious
I have on recipe that is great almost like the cake mix coobler
Apples cut in pieces on the bottom. Sprinkle jello strawberry powder on top. Then sprinkle white cake mix to cover up the jello. Add 2 cups boiling water. Then cook in the oven 350° for about 45 min.
The kids love it!
Wow I never knew that there was so many ways to spice up Cake Mix!
Thank for the Post, and the Recipes!
So many tempting recipes! I’m definitely going to be picking up more cake mixes on my groceries trip. I think I’ll start with the Maple-Glazed Apple Crisp Cookies and make my way through all of them.
Thank you for the recipes. I will have to try these out.
mmm white chocolate oatmeal cookies! I know what I am making this weekend
Love these time saving recipes.
This is such perfect timing, Staci! I was actually looking for cake mix ideas. I’ve made cookies from cake mix before, but nothing really fancy. One thing I really want to try- if I can figure it out- is how to use cake mix in a waffle iron to make a waffle cake. Then I’ll top it with ice-cream. In theory, it will be delightful!
I spelled your name wrong. I DO know how to spell it, I promise. Long day, migraine, and I got a bit too excited over the cake mix hacks! LOL.
