Q: Is this red velvet cake mix dairy/ lactose free?

submitted by Sweety - 7 months ago
  • A: Hi there. Thank you for your interest in our Duncan Hines Signature Red Velvet Cake Mix. We recommend checking the package every time because ingredients may change. This could mean that older formulations of the products may be on shelves at the same time as newer ones, and each could have different ingredients. Our brands will show all of the major food allergens on the ingredient list, and/or they will be noted in a "Contains" statement just after the ingredient list. This also applies if the top allergens are used in our flavorings and spice mixes. The major food allergens are: Eggs, Fish, Milk, Peanut, Shellfish (Crustacean), Soy, Tree Nuts, Wheat, and Sesame. We segregate allergen and non-allergen ingredients in our facilities. A “May Contains” statement will rarely be used due to our strong manufacturing processes, as we complete thorough cleaning when changing from allergen-containing to non-allergen-containing products. After cleaning, we conduct inspections to verify that it has been effective. If you have any allergen concerns outside of the major food allergens listed above, we recommend checking with your doctor before eating our food. Thanks again for taking the time to reach out to us. Have a nice day.

not buying this again. The instructions are too advanced I’m not a professional baker I just bought this for fun. Unclear cooking times. I had only one 9 inch pan and didn’t know what time to bake it for because it only says the time for two 9 inch pans. Also NEVER SEEMED TO BAKE I had to put this back in the oven so many times because the middle was always wet. Try a different brand.

Solid Mix!

I used this cake mix to make my boyfriend’s birthday cake. It’s quite tasty, the cake was a big hit. I will say; I sub out water for whole milk, oil for melted butter, add an extra egg, and add about a tablespoon of instant espresso powder to really up the quality and texture of the mix. However, I feel the mix is still obviously responsible for most of the magic! Red Velvet is a pain in the butt to make, and this always comes in handy even with my extra tricks!

Severe Headache from Duncan Hines products

I tried Duncan Hines brownie for the first time, and it gave me a severe headache. Thinking it might be due to chocolate, I gave their Red Velvet cake a chance, only to experience the same intense migraine. Disappointed with the results, I've decided to discard these products.

This cake is perfectly red and moist but has O FLAVOR. Like I thought my tastebuds were broken. But had hubby try too and yep NO FLAVOR AT ALL. If I were blindfolded I'd have no idea what cake this is. You cannot taste any cocoa. Not chocolate, not vanilla, but no flavor cake. So disappointed.

i bought this to make for my friends birthday cake, and it tasted disgusting. I did everything correct and have made many cakes. Was dry, and didn’t taste like red velvet tasted like a bad chocolate cake. I love this brand pineapple cake but this is just disgusting and disappointing. Time to buy a store bought cake.

My husband sneaked this into the grocery cart then hinted every night until I finally caved. I’m not a red velvet fan, and I pie made them from scratch but never been impressed. But this cake is delicious! I made it with buttermilk instead of water and used melted butter instead of the oil. I also added vanilla. It is the best red velvet cake husband has ever had, and I highly recommend it!
