Easy Color-Cubed Cake with Pancake Mix
cookpad.japan @cookpad_jp
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.

If you pour the batter in the middle first and try to spread it out, the cake batters will blend together.

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.

But don't worry - just mix throughly!- You can make a smooth sponge cake if you blend the mixture at low speed for the last minute (Step 2).- Preheat the oven to 400°F/200℃.- You can use a bamboo skewer to check the sponge cake (Step 6). It's done if the skewer inserted in the cake comes out clean. For 1 cake using a 27~28 cm [11.0 in] square baking tray. Recipe by Momora
Foolproof Banana Cake with Pancake Mix
I thought of a recipe that us child-rearing mothers could make together in our cooking club. I made this simple with pancake mix and melted butter so that anyone baking for the first time couldn't even fail. It's easy to make if using this recipe. It's a big hit.The banana is fine if just roughly mashed. If mashing is too much work, you can just slice it and mix it into the cake batter. I used an aluminium pound cake pan (10 x 18 x 5 cm) from the 100 yen shop. The flavor of the banana will be stronger if you can held your hands on a ripe one.Note: With the mold described above, I could slice my cake into 8-10 slices.Since this is made with pancake mix, there's no way you can fail. Just measure the ingredients and mix until there are no flour streaks. Recipe by tsubasa1119
