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

Delicious cake that is Keto friendly. Made with blueberries and lemon. If you need two layers, please buy two boxes. Easy to make. Good quality!

Tastes like cake. I added a sliced apple on top along with cinnamon and granulated monk fruit then baked and added a powdered monk fruit drizzle to make a cinnamon apple cake and it turned out great.

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.

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.

This was a bit odd. Not horrible, but the use of coconut oil gave it a coconut flavor. It also had a chewy texture. I didn’t hate it, but wouldn’t buy it again.

Excellent flavor and texture!

After reading some of the reviews, I thought I would try this. Maybe I am just really picky about cake since I used to work in a bakery and still make and decorate wedding cakes, but I thought this was absolutely horrid. The taste was too sweet and the texture was like cornbread not sponge cake. I have made low carb cakes for customers who want low carb and are not gluten intolerant with carbalose flour which is low carb and acts and tastes like AP flour. I guess I should have read the ingredients, Erythritol was the first ingredient, which has now been reported to cause cancer so most Keto sweeteners have removed it from their blends. And the second was almond flour which is super high in oxalates and damaging to the liver and can cause kidney stones. I will stick with carbalose flour or coconut flour for low carb cakes and stevia/monkefruit/allulose blends. This is not only a horrible tasting cake, it is incredibly unhealthy.

This is delicious. I used butter instead of coconut oil same as another reviewer. Butter appears to be a perfectly workable substitute. I also added 1 additional egg to increase the protein content and reduce the crumbliness some have complained about. (The crumbliness is barely more than a normal cake, it doesn’t bother me at all.)
