“It was good, but not amazing? I definitely suggest making extra topping, and then layering in a decent amount of the topping into the batter first, then add more topping on top. Also, yellow cake mix def has a distinct taste, so if you like that then great, b” — a cook, 3.0★
“Wow this cake was such a disappointment! I’ve baked my entire adult life and was happy to try this thinking it would be a bit easier than scratch because of the cake mix. Was I ever wrong! It was as much work as baking from scratch, and the batter was so thick” — a cook, 1.0★
