I do scratch and doctored cake mixes. DH is on sale right now so I want to stock up. I usually buy white or the coconut flavor. I am thinking of buying some of the other flavors. Anyone use DH flavored mixes that really like or dislike certain ones?
TIA

I'm just jealous that you can find the coconut. I have to drive 2 1/2 hours if I want all the other flavors. I like the strawberry. I do the WASC doctored with strawberry yogurt and Loranns. I add a little fresh strawberries too.

The lemon is good, especially with a bit of real lemon and zest added and a lemon pudding mix.

I have never seen the coconut flavor...that sounds good, especially when making coconut cake. I particularly like the spice cake.

Just about everyone I know loves the orange and the lemon.

I really like DH. I just bought the Drk Choc Fudge, Butter & red Velvet. No Plans for them but they were on sale.
DH is still 18.25 oz while BC has cut their box cakes to 15. ? and use some new ingredient to make up the difference.

And...I mixed the spice & carrot - YUMMY!

I love the spice, I use it for the heavenly pumpkin spice cake recipe from here... everyone loves it. Where are they on sale??

I have never had a problem with a DH mix ever. I always stock up on the white but love the lemon, spice, carrot and most of the chocolates. How can you miss at $1.00 ea???? I would love it if I could find the coconut also, but as yet, it is not to be

Thanks for all the info from everyone. Mixing carrot and spice sounds really good. I bought 30 something boxes and will get more of the other flavors this week while they are on sale!

They are on sale at a local grocery store chain called Publix this week. I live in South Florida. My husband is an AA pilot (not alcoholics anonymous ) and I have my private pilots license, hence the FLL after my name. It is the airport code for Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.

Maybe you can contact DH and see if they sell it to any stores near you. I think that you can order from them, but you will have to pay shipping and not get the sale price.

I use the white, lemon, devils food, spice, Swiss chocolate and classic yellow for most all my cakes, mainly not doctored. I'm not a big fan of the red velvet or German chocolate.

Their banana with some banana puree, a box of banana pudding and some chopped walnuts! That's my most popular flavor!

I have a question -- for those who use the DH orange mix, how do you doctor it up?

cakelady2266,
Off topic - where is Athens AL in relation to Dothan. My daughter lives in Dothan

I use DH all the time. I use the Devils Food for my chocolate. I just tried the Dark Chocolate Fudge and it tasted like a brownie, good, but I like the Devil's better. Banana is a hard find, but it's a favorite. Orange is one of my personal favorites. I really like the strawberry too. I use the white for my caramel cake. So far every cake I've made with DH has gotten rave reviews.

Oh I forgot about the banana it's great with cream cheese icing, and that's saying something because I don't even eat cake. The Swiss chocolate is hard to find sometimes, but I stock up when I do find it. I use it for German chocolate cakes, it's wonderful. I use the spice cake as a base for carrot or apple cakes, very moist and light. I use a box each of DH yellow and devils food with 2 bottles of red food coloring for red velvet cake.

I really like DH myself.. I just wish the strawberry would work for me!!! I can NEVER get it cook through.. it always has a raw center. I wish i could find the reason!

JWinslow, Athens is north AL. about 12 miles or so from the Tennessee state line.

jtrew10, I use the strawberry all the time but I don't usually have any trouble with it not cooking through. I will tell you something I have learned over the years, if you are using any of the DH mixes by the instructions try decreasing the water a tad. If it says 1 1/3 cups water I use 1 1/4 or maybe even a Tbsp. less than that. Hope that helps.

bobwonderbuns, for orange I mostly use it as is for regular cake orders. But for the occasional family gathering (my husbands, mine won't eat cake) I get creative. I have substituted orange juice and/or pineapple juice for water. I have even tossed in pineapple, coconut and chopped pecans. I got a great recipe for a strawberry cake with coconut, pecans and sliced strawberries in the batter and the icing. I must say for a person that doesn't eat cake this really is making me want to whip up something just for me. Then my ever widening rear will need it's own state.

Oh my. You guys have me hungry and jelous. Im in Canada and DH doesnt sell all of their flovors here. The banana sounds yummy! Maybe on my next trip over the boarder ill have to look for some different kinds.

I pretty much only use DH mixes, but for the flavors I have tried the Lemon, Pineapple and Strawberry - both on their own and doctored with good reviews on all.

My stores never seem to have Orange but I did once find it once while traveling and carried it home in my suitcase! I did not doctor it much but used it to make a "creamsicle" type cake with vanilla ice cream and whipped topping. I would buy that one again in a heartbeat if I saw it. Now I will have to keep my eyes peeled for the coconut flavor!

I love DH too and use them exclusively. I usually doctor them up, using the WASC recipe on this site. For the liquid I use half fresh orange juice and half melted orange sherbert.....I have always gotten rave reviews for this cake. Of course I add in some grated orange rind as well.....yum . Also, I decrease the amount of sugar called for in the WASC by 1/2 cup to compensate for the sugar in the oj and the sherbert. I use a flower nail as well to keep the cake from sinking in the middle, as this recipe has a tendancy to do. HTH!

I only use DH as well but always doctor them. I've had lots of people tell me my cakes are the best they've ever tasted! (Thanks CC for the recipes!!). I love the chocolate fudge, white, lemon, and red velvet. I wish I could get to the States and stock up! Here in Canada they are pushing 2.89/box - it's starting to become expensive!
