Roundy's Devils Food Cake Mix
What it is
This is a convenient baking mix designed to help you create a rich and decadent devils food cake. It contains pre-measured dry ingredients, including flour, sugar, cocoa powder, leavening agents, and flavorings, all blended together for ease of use. The mix is formulated to produce a moist and deeply chocolatey cake with a tender crumb, reminiscent of traditional homemade devils food.
How people cook with it

- Sheet cakes
- Cupcakes
- Dessert bases
To prepare the cake, you will typically combine the contents of the box with a few wet ingredients, such as eggs, oil, and water, as directed on the package. These are then mixed until just combined, taking care not to overmix, which can affect the cake's texture. The batter is then poured into prepared cake pans and baked in a preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once cooled, it can be frosted or served as is.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to a standard chocolate cake mix, devils food cake mix typically features a higher proportion of cocoa powder and often includes baking soda, which reacts with acidic ingredients to create a darker color and a richer, more intense chocolate flavor. The texture is often moister and more tender.
Who it is for
Home bakers seeking a straightforward method for preparing a classic chocolate dessert.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused cake mix in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. This will help maintain the freshness of the ingredients and prevent moisture absorption, ensuring good results for future baking endeavors.
