How many times have you felt like baking a cake but knew it wouldn't all get eaten? Like when you bake that Birthday layer cake or sheet cake for that one person knowing it’s just too much cake for one. How about that anniversary cake you wanted to bake for just the two of you knowing that you both would get tired of the same cake day after day.
How many times have you gone out to dinner with another couple and wanted to invite them back to your place for coffee and dessert but didn't want to keep the leftovers around for days? And how about that time when you wanted to bake a thank you cake for a single friend, neighbor or teacher and knew a whole cake would just be too much?
Well now you can put all the hesitation to rest because our friends over at Duncan Hines have created the Perfect Size Cakes! Why make a whole cake when you can make delicious little cakes that are the perfect size for 2-4 people. These are the right sized cake for that small luncheon with the girls, family game night, or for any occasion or celebration.
Duncan Hines Perfect Sized Cakes. The name says it all. They bring us the perfect solution for those times when a full size cake is too much. Each kit comes with a cake mix, frosting mix, and a disposable 6-inch round pan made just for the cake. Simply prepare as directed for a moist and delicious cake that is topped with a rich, smooth and creamy frosting. Now you can enjoy a fresh baked cake anytime!
But there’s more! Duncan Hines has made life easy because in every box you not only get the cake mix, and the frosting but also a perfect 6” disposable non-stick pan that has a push up bottom to release your cake!
There’s no need to buy a special pan to make these perfectly sized cakes and there’s no pan to clean up.
All you have to add is an egg, water, and butter. And what you get is better than just an easy to make boxed cake….it's a moist, buttery cake with delicious creamy frosting!
Not only are they the Perfect Size, these cakes are super easy to make. Here's how I made the Strawberries & Crème Perfect cake. Pour your package of cake mix to a large bowl. Add an egg, some water, and 2 tablespoons of butter. Mix it all up with an electric mixer.
Then pour the batter into the perfect non-stick pan included in the kit and bake it for a little over 30 minutes.
Remove from oven and using the disc on the bottom of the pan, push it up and out of the pan. Genius idea Duncan Hines!
Place cake on a wire rack to cool. It has to cool completely before frosting. When cooled place it on a serving plate. Next make your frosting. Using an electric mixer, beat your butter until fluffy. Add your packet of frosting mix and some water and beat until thick and creamy. Using an off set knife or spatula, spread the frosting evenly over the top and sides of the cake.
Now you can celebrate the little things in life with a perfect-sized cake for two, not ten. I love these cakes! So far I have made the Lemon Bliss and this Strawberries and Cream and I can say they are PERFECT! Try all 5 flavors and see for yourself!
