What To Do If A Recipe Calls For 18.25 oz Cake Mix

Since standard cake mixes are now 15.25 oz mixes, the three ounces can make a difference.

Most of the time, you will have a hard time finding cake mixes that are 18.25 oz. You can buy them online, but if you don’t have time to do that…

For turning a 16.5 oz cake mix into an 18.25 oz mix, add six tablespoons of all-purpose flour.

If your box is 15.25 oz, add in 11 tablespoons of all-purpose flour along with 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder.
