Best Answer

A few days after the expiration date and the difference should not be noticable - they should still work out exactly the same. However 3-4 weeks past, or more, and the raising agents may have lost their power, or if the cake mix includes some kind of fat it may have gone slightly rancid. If the mixture contains no fats, it should still be useable (and edible) 3-4 weeks past it's use by, but the results might not be quite as good (i.e it may not rise quite as much).

You should probably throw a cake mix away after it reaches the end of its expiration date. When something expires, it means it isn't good anymore.

It is good if the due date is near 1 and a half years.

at least two to three days. Years, if stored properly, and the rising agent is renewed-- a teaspoon or so of baking powder usually works.

How long past the expiration date can you safely use cake and brownie mixes?

Provided there are no liquids and the packaging is not damaged then indefinitely. ***I had to post this. Ignore this IDIOT that put "INDEFINATELY". NOTHING IS GOOD "INDEFINATELY" as far as Food. Did you ever hear of MOLD? Expiration dates are put for a reason.Go to SNOPES and then ask the question how long after expiration date can you use mixes - cake, pancake etc and you will be horrified at what you read and there certainly should be a warning on the labels- check out that, and I think you will throw away all your old mixes. Pancake Mix is the Highest risk to grow mold and if a person who has a mold allergy ingests it they can die. Mold is formed from Moisture & Yeast (1 or other or both)especially mixes directly in box or in paperbag inside box. Very easy for moisture to get in - so I pose this question: is it worth risking getting yourself or a friend or family member ill or possibly kill them to save $3 on buying a new mix?
