I have about 10-15 cake mixes in storage that have been there at least 2-3 years ....darnit I didn't think to rotate them out! Do you think they've gone rancid?? I was buying them up when on sale for a 1$ thinking they would be good in a pinch for my preps (even though I rarely make a cake, I tend towards pies or cookies. or quick sweet breads).
A couple of them are carrot/spice mixes, so maybe I should use them this season. I did find a recipe using 1 can of pumpkin with a spice cake mix (or butter) that nakes yummy muffins for Thanksgiving, supposedly loweer in cal and fat. It works wonderfully that way, too.
Thanks for your recipe thoughts and the "heads up"...
