Betty Crocker, Gingerbread Cake & Cookie Mix, 14.5-Ounce Box (Pack of 4) by Betty Crocker

This is the best gingerbread cake! Normally I don’t use box mixes, but, this is exceptional. Takes seconds to prepare, then eat it minutes after it cooks with whipped cream……it’s a fast and easy dessert or snack. Always a hit.

I bought theis cake mix as a shortcut to make gingerbreads cookies and cakes for the holiday season. With a few added additions of dark molasses, Brown sugar, a little white sugar, an egg, 4 tables spoons of butter, as well as various spices, such as cinnamon, pumpkin spice, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice. I added additional flour just because I found the dough rather sticky. It was probably maybe a half a cup give or take. I then allowed it to chill overnight in the refrigerator. The following day I took it out. Let it come up to room temperature. I dusted my table with flour and was able to roll out the dough and make cutouts with no problem. I baked for 9min and that's all. Not one person could tell the difference between my homemade gingerbread cookies vs the short cut. I personally thought they were actually even better. These stayed nice and chewy and soft. If you want more of a crunchy cookie use more white sugar instead of brown. As for the gingerbread christmas cakes I made. I did the same process except for I use vegetable oil instead of butter. I also I used two eggs instead of one. I was impressed how well everything turned out and definitely planned to buy these again for next year.

enjoyed this cake for years.

Very easy to make and delicious and moist !

Not a bad flavor, just not pronounced enough for my taste. When I eat ginger anything and I want a strong ginger/molasses flavor. This mix is on the bland side of things. Used to buy the jiffy brand gingerbread mix but they stopped making. But then I found the recipe on their site using jiffy brand baking mix - plus ginger and molasses and that’s the taste I was looking for!

I'm addicted to this mix and brand. A low sugar 'fix'! Regarding the posted few negative reviews; tastebuds vary in people, certainly one can add powdered ginger or cinnamon, if desired.pieces freeze and defrost beautifullyKath G.

This is very difficult to find in stores
