Use a simple vanilla, white, or yellow cake mix and bake your cake in large sheet pan. Make a simple milk soak using condensed milk, cream, and evaporated milk pour it over your baked cake. Remember to use condensed milk sparingly because your cake will already be a little sweet. Don’t forget to sprinkle cinnamon on top!

Cake mix is the key to ultra-fluffy pancakes and waffles! Thanks to the leaving agents present in the mixes, your pancakes will cook and rise easily. Pair them with fresh fruit and a drizzle of honey.
3 Bake a batch of cakey doughnuts.
It is possible to bake cakey dougnuts with boxed cake mixes if you have silicone doughnut pans. These doughnuts will have a tender crumb, and will be a tad sweet like cakes. Avoid adding sugary glazes and dip them into chocolate instead.
