Unfortunately, it sounds like you got an old mix. I’ve had this happen before and it’s really disappointing.

I have always have good luck with Duncan Hines cake mixes but was terribly disappointed with this one. Mine had a pungent flavor and it DID NOT RISE!!! My other ingredients for the cake were fine and I followed the directions to the letter. I only added the water that the raisins and carrots soaked in as directed, so I know it wasn’t that. I’m sure that this was just a glitch in the mix but I was highly disappointed in Duncan Hines.

Did anyone else’s cake taste bad and not rise? Or am I the only one?

My wife made this cake a week ago. It was gone within two days – a cake normally lasts five days in this household. It was wonderful – better than most Bakery/Restaurant carrot cake. I bought another mix and prepared it myself at midnight last night. It’s been in the fridge about 14 hours, so it should be just right this evening. So easy – didn’t even need the mixer. Go Duncan Hines!

Anita: How much did you pay for the cake mix? Just curious. Some people say they don’t like the taste of the carrots in the mix, but I thought they were fine.

I know what you mean about shredding carrots. That is the worst part about making a carrot cake. I have a wonderful carrot cake recipe. I’ll have to bake it sometime, take some pics, and share the recipe with you all.

Thanks for commenting.

That’s so funny you would write about that cake mix. I found it marked down at Target today and bought one. My husband loves carrot cake, so I thought I would give it a try. It certainly beats shredding my knuckles while shredding the carrots. Thanks for the rebate form.
