Cake Mixes
A one layer Jiffy
®
cake mix will mix and bake perfectly on the dessert
cycle. When preparing, use warm water (80°F/27°C) even though the
mix directions call for cold water. Add other ingredients per package
directions. Jiffy
®
cake mix is called for in some of these recipes. Do not
bake half of a regular cake by itself or, substitute half of a regular cake
for a Jiffy
®
cake mix in these recipes.
Angel Food Cake Mixes
If you would like to prepare a boxed, one-step angel food cake mix,
pour the water per package directions into the pan and add the entire
box of mix. Then follow these simple instructions: Start machine with-
out pan inside. At the stir beep (1:48), without stopping the machine,
place the pan securely into the machine. Neither a two-step recipe nor
a swirl angel food cake will work using this program. When dessert pro-
gram is complete, remove pan and rest it on its side until cake is cooled
completely (approximately 2 hours).
Angel Food Cake Variation
For a real variety of flavors, add 1 package of your favorite flavor of
Kool-Aid
®
(no sugar added). Dissolve Kool-Aid
®
in water called for in
the cake mix and add to pan. Then add cake mix. No other recipe
alterations are necessary.
Storing and Freezing
Store your cake in an airtight container. Cakes with perishable frostings
or toppings, such as carrot cake with a cream cheese frosting, should be
stored in the refrigerator. It is best to freeze cakes unfrosted.
Layered Cakes
To make a layered cake, insert toothpicks halfway up each side of the
cake to guide for straight cutting. Use a long, sharp knife to slice
through the layer. This will require more frosting, so you will need to
make 12 times the amount called for in the recipe below each cake.
Spread about 3 of the frosting over the first layer. Place second layer
on top and use the remaining frosting to cover sides and top of cake.
