There is no patent on Duncan Hines cake mix.
it is currently being sold on Amazon and Ebay, believe it or not. I am living in Los Angeles and asked for the caramel icing on my birthday cake (today) and my daughter couldn't find it in any of the grocery stores. What a shame! It is Duncan Hines best flavor icing!
It is safe to use Duncan Hines cake mixes for several months after it the best if used by date. The cake will likely bake up flatter than usual however.
you should check their website. duncan hines has a lot of cake mixes and frosting without milk.
If you only use the 3 eggs, the cake will probably end up sort of dry and crumbly. Instead, add a little yogurt, extra oil, or water.
Of course you can. Cake mix has an expiration date, but it means nothing. I once used a cake mix 2.5 years after expiration, and it was still great.
Look in specialty shops, baking shops, large or well-stocked grocery stores, and online. Go to www.hardtofindgrocer.com or www.crossroadsmarket.com they have it there.
My absolute favorite is Duncan Hines. And use butter (if you don't have health restrictions) instead of margarine.
if you mean other than baking, don't think so. they have brownies, muffins, cookies and different kinds of frosting.
looking for a cake recipe using mealies but no eggs
There is no recipe
Just pour the batter into a baking pan and cook it as one cake.
A diabetic pound cake recipe is a pound cake recipe that presumably substitutes the sugar in the normal cake recipe for Splenda or some other diabetic safe sugar substitute. There are many such recipes you can find on the web.
