A soft, fluffy yellow cake with with a warm, aromatic twist.
Meet the cake mix that’s anything but basic: the Oh So Easy Spiced Yellow Cake Mix. We started with the classic yellow cake everyone knows and loves — tender, buttery, and versatile — and gave it a warm, aromatic upgrade with a blend of ingredients commonly found in Palestinian desserts like mahlab and mastic.
The result? A cake that’s familiar but wayyy better than the original: rich, fluffy, and layered with subtle notes of cherry and almond. Each mix also comes with a Cardamom Simple Syrup, designed to soak into the cake after baking for extra moisture and tenderness. The syrup doesn’t just keep the crumb soft, it infuses every bite with gentle warmth from the cardamom.
Perfect for layer cakes, cupcakes, and snack cakes, or even an accidentally on purpose breakfast cake. We won’t judge ;)
What’s Inside:
