Details

Quickly and easily whip up a dense, succulent devil's food cake and save time baking it from scratch with this 5 lb. cake mix! Providing all the ingredients you need, this mix makes baking easy, while still offering a homemade taste. Just add water, mix, and bake!

Invented in the United States in the early 20th century, devil's food cake is the chocolate-flavored counterpart to the light and airy, white angel food cake. It is generally lighter and more succulent than other chocolate cakes, and is closely tied to red velvet cake, without its signature red food coloring. Made with cocoa powder, its robust chocolate flavor suits any chocolate lover's tastes!

This mix rises nicely for cupcakes and fluffy sheet cakes with soft, moist texture. Decorate your baked goods with a fruit glaze or rich chocolate frosting, and top with chocolate shavings, decorative icing, chocolate chips, and more. Whichever way this versatile cake mix is prepared and served, you're sure to satisfy everyone's sweet tooth!

Attention CA Residents:

Customer questions about this product

When following the instructions on the back of the package, the cake mix seems too watery. How can I improve the recipe?

Our product experts have found that adding 8 fluid ounces of water for every 1 pound of cake mix achieves the best results. Please see our Baking Instructions sheet for more information.

I almost always bake everything from scratch at my bakery. I tried this and it baked really dense and it smelled like a dead carp! I won't use this again.

This cake mix is pretty good. It's a little on the dry side unless you add other ingredients to moisten it. I would recommend for large quantity.

Working with the white cake mix was great! The final product produced a nice consistence to form evenly round cake balls. I will buy this product again and recommend others as well!

This was probably the most dense cake I've ever made. I tried mixing longer, mixing less, adding baking powder, adding baking soda, adding both baking powder and baking soda, ginger ale instead of water, baking at a higher temperature, baking at a lower temperature... No matter what I did, it always came out incredibly dense. The flavor is a mild vanilla, perfect for fixing up to meet specific cake needs, but it is just soooo dense.

Chocolate Brownie

Would not recommend this mix- it has sort of a strange, plastic smooth texture and is very spongy (but in a not-good way LOL). It also is NOT brownie-like at all. As a general rule, I give all five star ratings to Webstaurant products, because they are almost always fantastic. I have not been impressed with this mix, or the cookie mix that I tried.

The brownie mix taste good but I add milk, oil and a little vanilla to bring out the taste. I use this brownie mix to make brookies and other treats.

Mix was a little flat. I had to add eggs to get desired constancy of sponge layer. Mix was priced right just not the quality I desired.

Absolutely some of the freshest cake mix I have tasted and doesn't go stale after a few days like most. I recommend purchasing a cake cover to house the mix. It also has many purposes.

This cake mix is easy to use and bakes up nicely. I can add different flavor liquids rather than water to create a delicious custom cake. (Irish Cream cupcakes, anyone?)

Who doesn't love a good yellow cake with chocolate icing. We have quite a few request for a good yellow cake, it also makes a beautiful Lemon Cake which our customers swoon over.

This cake mix took a little getting used to. We don't follow the directions anymore as it kept turning out runny and a pourable consistency. The flavor however is really good and we can do all sorts of things with it. adding food coloring or extracts is easy. Beware of the instructions, but otherwise, good buy!

This comes out a little dry, but it is easy and it does make a very good cake. A little butter and vanilla flavoring and an egg...and everyone thinks that I made it from scratch.

So far I have loved it. Bakes up fluffy and tastes good. I add extra flavoring to it to make sure it tastes good. I think the flavor overall is a little bland but with a little flavoring it is pretty good!

This cake mix is aweful. It wasn't dense but it has a very "box" mix taste....it's almost flavorless except for that taste. The color varies from the edge to the center drastically which is why I'm guessing they pictured it with the edges cut. I could never serve this. Now I'm stuck with 5 more bags and my kids won't even eat it. SAVE YOUR MONEY...would never buy this product again.

This chocolate cake mix is much better than the name brand sold in Dollar Stores. It's not as sweet and didn't make me feel bad after consumption. It's a great carbohydrate source and taste great. I highly recommend this chocolate cake mix.
