"But if you're looking for something a little more outlandish, you might take note of Pillsbury's cake mix offerings. In addition to the standard flavors, it also offers pineapple, lemon, and creamy almond cake mixes. Its seemingly mouthwatering options beg the question: How good is each box mix, really? Separating the best from the worst became my mission for today, and I took it to task to rank 11 of the brand's box cake mixes, based primarily on the authenticity and strength of each flavor."
"The flavor has quite the backstory, with roots involving the illustrious Waldorf-Astoria hotel in New York City, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's earned a spot alongside vanilla and chocolate. All of which is to say, I didn't so much take issue with Pillsbury's red velvet cake as I do with red velvet cake in general. Still, I'll stand by its last-place spot here."
Modern grocery shelves carry many baking mixes that can satisfy baking cravings without from-scratch effort. Box chocolate cake can approximate classic desserts and scratch chocolate cravings. Pillsbury's cake mix lineup includes standard flavors plus pineapple, lemon, and creamy almond for more adventurous tastes. Eleven Pillsbury box cake mixes were ranked primarily on the authenticity and strength of each flavor. Red Velvet placed last due to a pronounced artificial red-dye taste that reduced appeal. The evaluation emphasizes flavor fidelity, with classic flavors performing more favorably than some of the more outlandish options.
