Easy Color-Cubed Cake with Pancake Mix
I've been accumulating cube cake recipes for a long time now, but wondered if there could be some way to make them easier, which is how I came up with this.
I have a YouTube video that shows me making the cake. Please check it out if you want.

- 1
Add the eggs and milk to a bowl. Use a whisk to mix together.
- 2
Add the pancake mix little by little and mix well to get rid of the lumps.
- 3
Grease an 18cm round cake pan. Pour the batter into the pan and gently get rid of the air bubbles. Bake in a 180°C (356 Fahrenheit) oven for 20 minutes.
- 4
If an inserted skewer is removed cleanly, it's done.
- 5
Remove from the cake pan while still hot and let it cool.
- 6
Make the strawberry and cocoa cakes following the same steps as the plain cake.
- 7
To make the strawberry spongecake, add the strawberry powder and red food coloring during Step 2.
- 8
To make the cocoa spongecake, add the cocoa powder during Step 2.
- 9
Pour each into separate greased cake pans and bake for 18-20 minutes in a 180°C (356 Fahrenheit) oven.
- 10
Once the cakes have cooled, use a cake knife to scrape off the browned surfaces and flip them upside down.
- 11
Cut out a circle from the center of the cake, and then cut out another circle from the center of the cut out circle.
- 12
As the picture shows, put the circles together without overlapping the colors.
- 13
In Step 12, to hold the cakes together, use whipped cream as a paste. It won't fall apart as easily when being sliced.
- 14
Once you put the circles together to form 3 different colored cakes, spread the bottommost cake with whipped cream.
- 15
Place the middle layer cake on top and spread that cake with whipped cream.
- 16
Place the topmost cake on top and begin decorating.
- 17
I decorated it with "Kracie's Nerikan Land" soft candies and a figurine, as seen in the finished product in the photo.
- 18
If talking about flavor, I like marzipan better than soft candies, but this was easier to do.
- 19
Once you have decorated it however you choose, it's done.
- 20
There's no sugar added to the cake batter, so it's just mildly sweet.
- 21
Try drizzling some maple syrup over the top of the whipped cream when enjoying this cake. I also recommend spreading syrup onto the cakes before adding the whipped cream.

For Doll Festival: Easy Tri-Color Steamed Bread Cake made with Pancake Mix For Doll Festival: Easy Tri-Color Steamed Bread Cake made with Pancake Mix
I wanted to make a tri-color pound cake for the doll festival....and I wanted it to be healthy...there was still some yogurt left...and why not make steamed bread? ....so I just mixed the ingredients and made this!When creating a layer with the batter, pour the batter evenly from the beginning like in Step 7. If you pour the batter in the middle first and try to spread it out, the cake batters will blend together. I didn't use sugar because I had in mind to make a healthy cake, so the cake is only slightly sweet. Adjust the amount of sugar depending to your liking. For one 15 cm [5.9 in] × 15 cm plastic container. Recipe by Marrietty -
Easy Purple Sweet Potato Cheese Cake with Pancake Mix Easy Purple Sweet Potato Cheese Cake with Pancake Mix
I often make cheese cakes, and I made this since I had the listed ingredients at home. I like trying out my original recipes and make new ones.You can make this cake fluffy like soufflé even without using a double boiler. You can hear tiny bubbles in the cake popping as you cut or bite into it. It's so fluffy and moist. I decided to make this one to be my signature cheese cake.If you don't have yogurt, substitute the amount of yogurt with milk.You can use Kabocha squash instead of purple sweet potato. Or make this cheese cake with neither of them!! Lemon juice is optional.You can use plain flour instead of pancake mix (make the meringue very stiff if using plain flour).This cake is moderately sweetened, so adjust the amount of sugar to taste.

Fluffy Sponge Cake with Pancake Mix Fluffy Sponge Cake with Pancake Mix
I made this for my daughter who has an egg allergy. I think this cake is the closest to a normal sponge cake so far. I baked it the day before, and decorated it the day after, but the cake was still nice and soft.But, since it's so soft, and it may break when you slice in half, so be careful.Just mix. It gets too hot on the middle rack in our oven, so I bake it on the lower rack. But I think this may differ depending on your oven, so just take that as a reference. Bake for longer if needed.
