Duncan Hines Keto Friendly Classic Yellow Cake Mix, 10.6 oz.

I have been disappointed in many gluten free/sugar free products and recipes, so I was not expecting much, I have to say I was blown away with this cake. Before and after baking it looks more like cornbread, so I was skeptical, HOWEVER, the texture is like a regular cake and it was light and fluffy. I made a boiled frosting with Swerve Powdered Sugar substitute, cocoa, butter and milk and it was fantastic. The cake has a bit of a coconut flavor, not overbearing, and I used avocado oil instead of coconut oil. I didn't mention to my husband it was GF/SF and he literally ate half of it! I also used an 8x8 glass pan instead of a round pan. It is a bit pricey, but the ones I have made from scratch were horrible and I tossed them out, so I figure this saves me money!

I've been using this cake mix to make a lower carb version of pineapple upside down cake as my diabetic mother likes this dessert, but the standard one is extremely high in carbs and she can't have it. As brown sugar is 12 gm carb a serving, I only use 8 Tbsp of it in the brown sugar and butter mix that goes on the bottom of the pan. (Some recipes use 1 1/2 cups brown sugar.) I use pineapple with no sugar added. This cake seems to bake up very similar to regular cake. It's browner on the edges by the time the cake is done in the middle. Our oven is a little slow and all recipes take the longer amount of time, so it is the same for this cake mix. I do use the coconut oil as this box mix instructs and also use coconut oil to grease the pan. I've made it twice, muffin size cakes and an 8” cake. It doesn't stick to my pans and is easy to get out.
