Will regular cake mix, Duncan Hines, etc. work with this donut pan?

Yes, but they'll just taste like donut shaped cake/cupcakes. The texture of donuts tends to be a bit 'heavier'. Just remember...cake or donut batter...underfill or they'll both overflow the hole area.

I have tried various muffin mixes that have worked well (perhaps a bit less dense than a regular donut), so I assume cake mix would do just fine.

I haven't tried it but I imagine it will. It might not come out donut-y since cake mix and donut mix are completely different.

Having only used the pan with a 'donut' recipe, I can't say for certain. However, I would think if you don't overfill the cavity it should work. It is really just like any other 'cake' pan, except for the shape. That being said, possibly the cake batter is lighter or airier and the 'donut' could break apart. Sorry, I'm not much help!

I haven't tried but I'm absolutely sure cake mixes would work. This pan is just like a cupcake pan which people use cake mixes in all the time. The only difference is this pan would create a donut shape.

I don't know, as I used a pumpkin donut recipe that I found on line. I would imagine that the cake would have to be very dense to hold the donut hole shape. God Speed.

Use regular cake mixes and reduce cooking times to that of mini cupcakes.Coat the pans well otherwise the cakes will stick.

I have never tried a bundt cake or a regular cake in it yet. However it is good size pretty tall and wide. I really do like this product. If you need mesurements I can get them for you.

I have two 9x 13 cake pans. One fits in but the other has little handles so it won't. I do love the oven and so far every thing has turned out good.

Yes! The cake mix or muffin mix will expand and fill the top half. The holes in the top are for overflow. Any of your favorites will work!

You can bake any kind of cake in the bundt pan; however, I don't seem to ever get a cake out of it without tearing cake apart! I've followed directions carefully so hope others who purchase pan have better luck!

I don't see why not. I've used it to make mini butter cakes rather than use a bundt pan. If you fill it 2/3 full it will puff up just like on smaller muffin pans. Happy baking!

Never tried that. We use the cake mix for other things like banana nut bread, small cupcakes. Sorry cannot help you.

I am not entirely sure...sorry! It fits about 1 box of cake mix with about an inch or two from the top. Sorry I cannot been exact. It has been a great pan for smaller size bundt cakes.

I would try the Jiffy cake mixes. They are smaller than the Betty Crocker types. I've used the Ghiradelli brownie mixes in this pan and it came out great!Hope this helps.

Yes they did recommend the Nordic Anniversary platinum bundt pan. It is very sturdy and deep. The cake just slips right out. The best one I have tried yet.

Plug it in...you get about 40 donuts from a regular box of cake mix...i use the kind which ask for vegetable oil because they stay moist longer. Add 1 teaspoon baking powder to the regular cake mix recipe and they should turn out fine. Green light comes on when they are done but i give them a little extra time...only takes a few minutes and they are done. Good Baking!

I'm not much of a "from-scratch" cook so I use cake mixes from Betty Crocker and Duncan Hines in the "release" cake pans and so far they've worked fine. FWI: I grease and flour the pans before pouring the batter then let the baked cake cool at least 20-minutes in the pans.

Shirley, sorry to hear about your donuts not coming out of your pans. I haven't used the pans yet, but sounds like the the nonstick surface isn't working.

I don't think I'd try to use it for a cake mix. Works great for pudding and whipped cream type things.

I would say depending on how much batter they could be medium or large. They do make a mini donut pan.

5 cups of batter fit perfectly (= one box of cake mix, I use Duncan Hines) ... if you make it from scratch it might rise differently and you might need a bit more.
