    Very let down

    I have been using the Devil's Food cake mix for over 30 years along with all of the other flavors, but the new mix is very dry and does not have the same delicious flavor, also the smaller amount of cake mix makes a big difference when making a round 2 layer cake. Go up on the price instead of putting less mix in the box.

    The new mix is to dry & not as chocolaty as it was -- also not as much mix in the bag as it was.

    Gramps.....bake us sumpin!!!!

    This is my favorite cake mix! I frost it with homemade chocolate buttercreaProduct sucks m frosting. I make it for a family of 4.....it lasts us about 2 days.....none of my other cake flavors are as appreciated as chocolate devils food so I'll occasionally do a spice cake, carrot cake or white vanilla but these rugrats get huffy when I do....lol. I like to add nuts, m&ms, sprinkles .....whatever is on hand, also use cream, milk, applesauce or juice instead of water to get a reaction. Btw, I'm grandpa.....79 yo, love to bake, I make pies, cupcakes, cinnamon rolls, sometimes from scratch just to be interesting. Y"all be good, bake for your kids, make those memories.

    Rich and chocolatey

    Is the top choice when making “better than sex” cake! Don’t forget the milk! This is not only very affordable but much better than recipes that use mayonnaise or from scratch!

    Easy, moist, rich, and decadent. You can’t beat the price or the sweetness of this cake mix. Great chocolate flavor, beautiful bouncy look, for a celebration or an any day indulgence.

    What have you done!

    I have used this Duncan Hines moist cake mix as the base for many cakes for literally 50 plus years. But you changed something when you put less in your box used to be 19 oz.per box. I’ve tried to adjust my recipe 4-5 times all failed. Shrinkage and deflates terribly. I cannot use your mix anymore. Please let me know how & why you’ve ruined a timeless recipe. This is so bad. A flop. Wouldn’t buy gain unless you revert to the old recipe.

    Quality no longer good

    Made Duncan hinds triple chocolate cake 3 years ago for my birthday, it was my favorite. I planned to make it for my birthday last year. The layers were as flat as pancakes! Other reviews said the same thing. Okay, maybe the mix didn’t have enough baking powder?? I figured I’ll try one last time. Made it today for this year’s birthday. Checked it carefully, taking it out 5 min early, the moment that toothpick came out clean. It SUCKS. Tastes like nothing, consistency so light, you can’t even pick it up with a fork. How embarrassing to serve this lousy cake to company AGAIN. What is with this company. Isn’t cake mix what they DO??? Never again. I’ll make it from scratch from now on

    Cake mix change

    I bought this to make a butterfinger cake. The mix is nothing like it used to be. It is so thick you have it spread it up with a spatula. It also is not that dark deep chocolate like it used to be. I have always used Duncan Hines Cake Mixes so I was disappointed

    This cake mix is amazing! It’s super easy to make and comes out perfectly moist every time. The flavor is rich and chocolatey — just like a homemade cake. I used it for cupcakes, and everyone loved them. It’s definitely one of my favorite cake mixes.
