Thread: did you think the 3-2-1 cake was

a little weak in the flavor dept?

I mixed 2 Duncan Hines mixes together--angel food and spice cake. I mixed 3 T of mix with 2 T of water and baked it in the micro for 1 min. Very light and fluffy but I felt that the intensity of the spice cake was diluted by the angel food. Next time I will add some spices from the cupboard and maybe some chopped nuts.

Applesauce is a good idea.

I did make more samples later last night and I put extra cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger in them. They were better.
I wish I had some chopped pecans to add, but I didn't.

I think the best description of this cake is to say it is like a flavored angel food cake.

I just mixed up a bag. Used angel food and poppy seed.......Yummy. And my recipe calls for 3-3-1.....It works just fine. Before the poppy seed, I used a blueberry mix. Seems the "off cake" is what determines the taste....

I agree, I wasn't happy at all. Guess that's a good thing though.
