1. Bakels Creme Cake Muffin Mix. 

Ingredients

1kg cake mix
400ml water
5eggs
200ml oil
300g white chocolate (optional but recommended- this will make it into a light white chocolate mud cake) If you don't add the white chocolate the cake comes out as a light butter cake.

Method
  1. Combine cake mix, water & eggs and mix on low speed for 1min. Scrape down bowl, and continue to mix on medium speed for additional 4mins.
  2. Blend in oil on low speed.
  3. Add melted chocolate, and mix on medium for 1 more min.
  4. Bake at 150 Degrees Fan forced for approx 1.5-2 hours( Temperature and baking time will vary depending on your tin size and oven. For example: If you are putting the full kilo into a Large deep tin , it will take longer to bake, than if you put the cake mix into two seperate tins and spread out the mix.) 

For best results, allow cake to cool in tin.

*1kg of cake mix will make approximately 2 x 7" cakes that are around 3 inches tall.  It really depends on what shape cake you are making and size of tin. As well as if you add the white chocolate ( as it increases the cake volume). This mix will rise a fair so leave approx. 2 cm from top of tin.
*1kg Mix also makes approx. 35 cupcakes bakes in our large cupcake papers. This again is a rough guide as it depends on how much you fill your cupcake papers.

For every 1kg of mix, try adding the following flavourings;
  1. 1cup desiccated coconut + 2 tsp coconut essence or
