I just bought two boxes of Duff's white cake mix thinking I could subsitute it for regular white box mix.

But I am having doubts about this - has anyone did it? Or do you suggest it or not?! Thanks!

Hmmm...You might have to try that and report back to the rest of us. I'd also like to know what makes it worth $7.50....LOL

$7.50? it was 8.99 at our Michaels here---uh, no thanks

Yeah, I laughed when I saw it in our Michael. I think it's $7.99. (And I don't use mixes.) Gosh, I hope you used coupons.

Yes - I would only try something like that with my trusty 40% off coupon!

But really, I am not sure if this cake mix is comparable to DH or BC white mix??

I believe i would try that mix in it's purest form first. I want to know exactly how it's supposed to taste.

DeeDee - that is my thought too. I just love the idea of using fresh sour cream and eggs and the Duff mix only requires oil and water.

I have heard it is yummy from CC people so I am trusting that info.

I think it would affect the volume of your batter, it's such a small box.

3GCakes - exactly my expression! I was excited until I got home and then read the directions. My mom would laugh and say "leaping off the cliff before looking" again

Anyway I will give it a whirl and see what happens. Can't let it go to waste. Plus, I am alway curious to find out why certain brands think they are better than others.

...here we go....

If you have 2 boxes, I'd say do one according to the directions on the back and one as WASC.

Then report back here. No point in all of us doing this experiment...lol

I did use both boxes and WASC - it was a beautiful cake. The texture, smell and taste (took a little off the top for me winkwink) was nicer than if I used regular box mix, BUT it is not worth the cost without a coupon.

By nicer - I mean it had a tighter crumb, moist and almost creamy look

So the answer is yes, you can use Duff's cake mix as a subsitute for DH or BC cake mix in the WASC recipe.

PS> I forgot to add that it takes an additional 20 minutes to cook on a lower heat. I made two 8 x 3 cakes and had some left over for a biggie cupcake.
