Duncan HinesKeto Friendly Classic Yellow Cake Mix, Gluten Free, Zero Sugar Added, 10.6 oz

First, remember that this is a diet product, meant to substitute for the real thing, not be the real thing. Secondly, enjoy it for what it is, not what you wish it to be.This does not taste or feel like any other cake you've tried before. That will be clear to you at the first bite. Anyone could eat this, and perhaps enjoy it, but I wouldn't suggest using it for a crowd. This cake mix is truly best only served to those actually on a low carb diet.It's good, don't get me wrong. I enjoyed it immensely. My sweet tooth was satisfied and I'll definitely purchase it again. What sets it apart three most from real cake is the texture. It's dense and unusually moist-- but not like regular cake. It's difficult to describe... I suppose you could say it seems to have a higher moisture content when finished. It didn't rise as much as I expected when baking it. I wanted a second box just so I could layer it and have it look right. I used a springform pan, but don't remember which size. All I remember is that it barely finished at an inch tall, if that, and looked almost the same coming out of the oven as it went in.Overall, I recommend this to any low carb dieter, just don't set unreasonable expectations that it's going to be like normal cake.

I've struggled trying to find any low carb no sugar baked goods that weren't either horrible tasting or didn't have a super weird texture, this one is surprisingly good! And a fantastic price! The texture and taste aren't exactly what you get with a standard white flour and sugar cake mix, but they're not far off. Really moist and not too dense or gritty. Immediately ordered more to keep on hand for those "OMG I need cake!" moments. Absolutely recommend.

So sweet. I wish it was less sweet. I find a lot of these "no sugar" baking mixes are over the top way too sweet. WHY?! Simmer down on the sweeteners! Use frosting at your own risk. This is really more of a snacking cake that does not need frosting. That being said, it is within the realm of normal, taste & texture wise.Texture is as expected for a coconut flour and almond flour base. You know, moist but kind of gritty and dense (like cornbread), not fluffy and airy like white flour cakes. Again, within realm of normal.Because it uses coconut flour, this is going to have a coconut flour taste. You must like coconut. It calls for coconut oil, which will further boost the coconut flavor. If you want less coconut flavor, use refined coconut oil, or some other oil that fits your dietary needs. But coconut will still come through.It cooks up moist. Definitely allow it to cool before cutting into it lest it falls apart. Holds together well, but is borderline crumbly.Definitely tastes better the NEXT day. I dont know why, but I find that true of other keto cake mixes.Definitely not a low calorie food, 10 servings. Happens to be the one thing I can not eat much of at once. If it were a normal cake, I would easily eat this as 1 or 2 pieces of cake. But this super intensely sweet cake is easily 6-8 servings of good size, 10 if just taking a few bites at a time (which is likely good enough).Contains CHICORY, so if you eat too much or are not used to chicory, know that this is a form of fiber that may make you very gassy. That combined with the sweeteners (that can cause digestive distress) and this cake may be as painful as it is sweet. Again, within the realm of normal for products of this nature. lolI DO NOT rate on price. Prices vary, and everyone can see the price when they buy it. Also prices fluctuate. And we all have different budgets, values. BUT I do comment. . Currently the price is $4.98. I thought that reasonable for a brand I know and trust. It was an impulse purchase because of the fair pricing. I have spent as much as $13 for a similar yellow snacking cake, which I will never do again for any cake mix. However at <$5 I would say that it is worth the try. If you dont like this one, you likely wont like any of them. I'm at the spot where I am going to try to make my own from scratch.Overall, it is "good" in that it meets expectations. I am not "keto" but I do try to reduce my sugar intake. I dont consume stuff like this with abandon. I count it like I was having a regular dessert. I dont indulge in regular desserts (or not often) because it is more likely to trigger a binge, or trigger a growing desire for me. I am not triggered by these sweeteners to eat more. If anything it works as an aversive. I dont know enough about the sweeteners to know if it still spikes blood sugar or not. I am assuming not since I am not craving more sweet when I eat this stuff.If it was less sweet I would like it more. Not sure what I can do to it to make it less sweet. I dont know what order of magnitude of other ingredients would need to be added to make a sizeable adjustment to the level of sweetness.

Yum!

I baked two cakes. First cake I baked and tuned it into a Boston cream pie by cutting it in half and filling the middle with homemade vanilla cream and poured ganache on top and finished it with fresh sliced strawberries, all sweetened with alternative sugars. It was delicious but the texture was a little off.Second cake was a fresh upside down orange cake with fresh orange slices on top. Sweetened with alternative sugars, it was very tasty but, still, I wasn't in love with the texture.This cake mix was, so far the best keto cake mix I've bought that actually looked and tasted like cake. Dunkin Heinz has been my favorite cake mix of all time. I hope they continue to improve on this mix perhaps by using other gluten free and grain free flours (something softer as the nut flours are too heavy for such a major role in a recipe). Tapioca, and other root flours might be helpful. I'm no baker but after being diagnosed as diabetic, I have had to rethink my favorite foods. No sugar, no grains, no dairy except for butter, cream and eggs. I do miss certain deserts. Learning to cook from online recipes, I've learned there are a LOT of bad recipes. Dunkin Heinz has brought desert cake back and made that possible. My diet has made a difference in my health. Not only have I brought down my glucose sugar to normal range but I've be able to lose weight and my rosacea has stopped being a problem. If I cheat and eat too much regular wheat flour my rosacea comes back and regular sugar spikes my glucose.At 75 I shouldn't have to work so hard to make a good cake.
