Elevated Cake Mix Recipe: Fudge Cake Sundae

Fudge Cake Sundae

There is no need to follow the directions on the box, when you make this decadent elevated cake mix fudge cake sundae.

The typical boxed cake mix from Betty Crocker, Duncan Hines, Pillsbury or a similar brand calls for water, oil and eggs to be mixed in.

How Do You Elevate A Box Cake Mix?

It is easy to elevate a regular cake mix and turn it into something special.

Instead of adding in the ingredients listed on the box, follow my recipe below that will give you a cake that is rich and fudgy.

The instructions on the box will be similar, when you elevate it.

However, you’ll need to adjust the bake time and keep your eye on it.

What Kind of Cake Mix Should I Use for The Fudge Cake?

Most big brand and store brand cake mixes are very similar in what they call for you to add in.

Use a box mix that asks you to add water, egg and oil and then you can make the adjustments to turn it into an elevated cake mix recipe.

Also, white chocolate chips are stirred into the batter.

Is This Sundae Recipe Vegetarian?

This fudge cake sundae is vegetarian.

However, it is not vegan, since it has egg and dairy.

Can This Sundae Recipe Be Dairy-free?

I used dairy in mine, but you can make yours dairy-free if you want to.

Use almond milk or another milk alternative when mixing the cake and choose a dairy free ice cream.

Also, be sure to check labels for the cake mix and chocolate ingredients to make sure you use a dairy-free brand.

Is This Elevated Cake Mix Sundae Recipe Gluten-Free?

Mine is not gluten free, but you can make this recipe without gluten.

Choose a gluten-free boxed cake mix and check the labels on other ingredients for anything that would be problematic.

Will There Be Leftovers?

Yes. There will be leftover cake with this fudge cake sundae recipe.

It makes sense to bake the whole cake at once, instead of trying to only use part of the box.

You can cover the cake and save the leftovers for later.

Or you can get more ice cream and toppings out to make extra sundaes and use it all up at once.
