BOXED CAKE MIX RECIPE: November 2025

Whoopie Pies Made With Boxed Cake Mix Recipe


WHOOPIE PIES MADE WITH BOXED CAKE MIX 

Soft cake-like cookie sandwiches with creamy filling!

🛒 INGREDIENTS (Makes about 10–12 whoopie pies)

FOR THE CAKE MIX COOKIES

  • 1 box cake mix (chocolate is classic, but funfetti, red velvet, spice, or vanilla all work)

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil (or 1/2 cup melted butter for richer flavor)

  • 1/3 cup water OR milk (milk makes them softer and more tender)

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional but recommended)

Optional Add-Ins for the Cookies

  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder (for deeper chocolate flavor)

  • ½ tsp espresso powder (enhances chocolate)

  • 2 tbsp sour cream (makes cookies extra soft and cakey)

FOR THE CLASSIC WHOOPIE PIE FILLING

Marshmallow Cream Filling

  • 1 cup marshmallow fluff/creme

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened

  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

  • 1–2 tsp vanilla extract

  • Pinch of salt

  • 1–2 tbsp milk or cream (as needed for consistency)

Optional Fillings

(More details in Variations section.)

🍰 INSTRUCTIONS — LONG STEP-BY-STEP

1. Prepare your baking trays

2. Make the whoopie pie “cookie” batter

In a large mixing bowl:

  1. Add cake mix.

  2. Add eggs, oil (or melted butter), and water/milk.

  3. Add vanilla.

  4. Mix with a spatula or hand mixer on LOW until combined.

The batter will be thicker than cake batter but softer than cookie dough — a “soft-drop” consistency.

OPTIONAL (recommended for puffy, cakey whoopie pies)

  • Stir in 2 tbsp sour cream

  • Add 1 tbsp additional cake mix if batter seems too runny

3. Scoop the batter

Scoop 2 Tbsp portions onto the prepared baking sheets:

  • Leave 2 inches spacing between each mound.

  • Keep portions uniform so the sandwiches match nicely.

For perfectly round whoopie pies:
Use a small ice-cream scoop or cookie scoop.

4. Bake the cakes

Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes.

Signs they’re done:

  • Tops spring back when touched

  • Edges look set but not browned

  • Centers don’t jiggle

Do NOT overbake—they should be soft and fluffy.

5. Cool completely

Let the cakes cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack.

They must be fully cool before filling so the frosting doesn’t melt.

⭐ MAKE THE FILLING (LONG VERSION)

In a mixing bowl:

  1. Beat butter until fluffy (1–2 min).

  2. Add marshmallow fluff; beat until smooth.

  3. Add powdered sugar gradually until creamy and thick.

  4. Add vanilla + pinch of salt.

  5. If needed, add 1–2 tbsp milk to adjust texture:

    • Too thick → add milk

    • Too thin → add more powdered sugar

Filling should be:
✔ Thick
✔ Spoonable
✔ Not runny
✔ Spreadable without squeezing out too easily

6. Assemble the whoopie pies

  1. Pair up the cooled cakes by size.

  2. Pipe or spread 1–2 tbsp filling onto the flat side of one cake.

  3. Gently press the matching cake on top to form a sandwich.

Don’t squeeze too hard — you want a soft “fluffy” look, not a pancake.

7. Chill briefly (recommended)

Refrigerate assembled whoopie pies for 20–30 minutes to help them:

  • Set

  • Hold shape

  • Get that classic tender, thick texture

They’re even better the next day!

⭐ FLAVOR VARIATIONS

1. Classic Chocolate Whoopie Pies

Use chocolate cake mix

  • extra 1 tbsp cocoa
    Filling: marshmallow cream vanilla filling

2. Red Velvet Whoopie Pies

Use red velvet cake mix.
Add 1 tsp vinegar for authenticity.
Filling: cream cheese frosting

3. Lemon Whoopie Pies

Use lemon cake mix

  • lemon zest
    Filling: vanilla frosting or lemon buttercream

4. Funfetti Birthday Whoopie Pies

Use vanilla or funfetti cake mix
Filling: vanilla buttercream with sprinkles mixed in

5. Chocolate Peanut Butter Whoopie Pies

Use chocolate cake mix
Filling: peanut butter buttercream (½ cup PB + ½ cup butter + 1–2 cup powdered sugar)

6. Pumpkin Spice Whoopie Pies

Use spice cake mix
Add ½ cup pumpkin puree
(Use only 1 tbsp water instead of ⅓ cup)
Filling: cinnamon cream cheese frosting

⭐ TIPS FOR PERFECT WHOOPIE PIES

  • Use milk instead of water for richer, softer cakes

  • For thicker cakes, refrigerate dough 10–15 minutes before scooping

  • Don’t overbake! Dry cakes = cracked whoopie pies

  • Match your tops and bottoms before filling

  • Use a piping bag for neater filling

  • Chill before serving for bakery-style texture

⭐ STORAGE

Room Temp

1–2 days in airtight container.

Refrigerator

Up to 5 days.

Freezer

Freeze individually wrapped (plastic wrap + freezer bag): up to 2 months.

Blueberry Ice Box Cake Mix Recipe



Creating your own homemade cake mix is a fantastic way to have the convenience of a box mix with the delicious flavor of a from-scratch recipe. This blueberry cake mix is perfect for keeping on hand for a last-minute dessert, for giving as a thoughtful gift, or for simplifying your baking routine.

Homemade Blueberry Cake Mix (From-Scratch Convenience)

This recipe creates a dry mix that you can store in your pantry. When you're ready for a fresh, warm blueberry cake, you just need to add a few simple wet ingredients. We use dried blueberries in the mix for shelf stability, but I'll include instructions for using fresh or frozen ones too.

Yields: Enough mix for one 9x9 inch cake or 12 muffins Prep time (for the mix): 10 minutes Storage: Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.

Ingredients for the Cake Mix

Instructions for Making the Mix

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisking thoroughly ensures that the leavening agents are evenly distributed, which is key for a good rise.
  2. Add the Blueberries: Gently stir the dried or freeze-dried blueberries into the flour mixture. Be careful not to crush them.
  3. Package the Mix: Transfer the mix to a large, airtight jar or a zip-top bag. If giving as a gift, you can layer the ingredients in a clear jar for a beautiful presentation. Attach a tag with the "To Bake" instructions below.

To Bake the Cake (Using Your Mix)

When you're ready to bake, preheat your oven and gather these wet ingredients.

You Will Need:

Instructions:

  1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x9 inch baking pan, or line it with parchment paper. For muffins, line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until just combined.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with your cake mix. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, stir until just combined. Do not overmix! A few small lumps in the batter are perfectly fine. Overmixing will result in a tough cake.
  4. Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into your prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 35-45 minutes for a 9x9 cake, or 18-22 minutes for muffins. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs attached.
  5. Cool: Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. Let muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before moving to a wire rack.

Tips for Success & Variations

  • For
    a Fresh/Frozen Blueberry Cake:     If you want to use fresh or frozen blueberries, omit the 1 cup of dried blueberries from the mix. When making the batter, gently fold 1 ½ cups of fresh or frozen (unthawed) blueberries into the batter at the very end.
  • Add a Streusel Topping: For a delicious, crunchy topping, mix together ½ cup of flour, ¼ cup of brown sugar, ½ tsp cinnamon, and 4 tbsp of cold butter (cut into small cubes). Sprinkle this over the batter before baking.
  • Lemon Blueberry Variation: Add the zest of one lemon to the dry mix ingredients for a bright, fresh flavor that pairs beautifully with blueberries.
  • Glaze It: For a simple glaze, whisk together 1 cup of powdered sugar with 1-2 tablespoons of milk or lemon juice until it reaches your desired consistency. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
  • Gluten-Free Option: Use a high-quality, 1-to-1 gluten-free baking flour blend in place of the all-purpose flour.

Enjoy your convenient and delicious homemade blueberry cake
