It tastes virtually the same as the "from a mix" cake does. We are not huge cake eaters so cake is not something I regularly Bake. Cookies, however, are an entirely different subject!Anne in the kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01533249631969001657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7388810380797297879.post-134621741467435662015-03-09T06:56:05.413-07:002015-03-09T06:56:05.413-07:00I keep mixes on hand, too, mostly for recipes that...I keep mixes on hand, too, mostly for recipes that are not cakes (my mom makes these terrible, yummy caramel brownies that use a German chocolate cake mix...they're so bad and so good). However, I do make angel food cakes from a mix and prefer them to the angel food cakes you can buy in a store bakery. I've never attempted am angel food cake totally from scratch. The macaroon cookies look yummy!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16128676927462151254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7388810380797297879.post-2997069020669518802015-03-05T08:08:23.169-08:002015-03-05T08:08:23.169-08:00I was surprised it tasted as good as it did.

It's weird, and it's nothing I can explain exactly.Anne in the kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01533249631969001657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7388810380797297879.post-31529463549264340522015-03-05T04:17:34.870-08:002015-03-05T04:17:34.870-08:00You know, I like flavor of cake mixes.

When cakes are made, I prefer from scratch better than from a mix. Anyway, I've never seen a coconut mix. I'll have to look next time I'm in the store.Live and Learnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493777474885053903noreply@blogger.com
