What's in the bag?
In each bag of cake mix you have the dry ingredients to make an 8"/20cm sponge cake.
How do I make my cake?
All the info you need is on the back of your cake mix. Lazycakes are super simple to put together, all you need is 2 baking tins, a bowl and a whisk. Check out our Instagram for video guidance.
How do I know my cake is cooked?
Insert a knife or skewer into the middle of the sponge and if it comes out dry and clean or with just a couple of crumbs, your cake is ready.
How do I decorate my cake?
Any way you like! You can keep it minimal with fresh cream and a sprinkle of icing sugar. My favourite buttercream recipe is here. You can even get ambitious and use your sponges to practise your piping skills!
Do I need an electric whisk?
Absolutely not! Lazycakes are so easy, a regular balloon whisk does the job. You only need to combine your ingredients which takes 20 seconds. I do recommend an electric whisk for making buttercream as your arm might get tired!
What is flavourless oil?
Flavourless oil is a term for oils which don't have heavy or distinct flavours so you can add them to your cakes. Rapeseed, vegetable, sunflower and light olive oil can all be used.
I can't find buttermilk!
No problem! You can swap 280g buttermilk for 200g natural yoghurt and 80g milk.
Why are the liquid ingredients in grams?
This is a more accurate way to measure and means you don't have to use a measuring jug (less washing up!). When buying ingredients, 100g liquid is always around 100ml.
How long does the mix last?
Our mixes last for 6 months when kept in a cool dry place.
How long does the cake last?
Once baked, keep in an airtight container and consume within 5 days.
