Cake Batter Fudge

September 6, 2013 by Lisa Park + 20 Comments

cake batter fudge

I love desserts that only take a few minutes to whip together. This Cake Batter Fudge is yummy, gooey, and oh so sweet. Thanks to a friend for sharing this recipe.

Cake Batter Fudge
Print
Ingredients
  • 2 cups yellow cake mix
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • ½ cup butter, cut into small squares
  • ½ cup milk
  • sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, mix the cake mix and powdered sugar. Then add the butter squares and milk, but don't stir.
  2. Place the bowl in the microwave for 3 minutes. Immediately stir until all the ingredients are combined.
  3. If batter is a little runny, add in 3-4 tsp. powdered sugar and 3-4 tsp. cake mix and stir. Continue to add in teaspoons of powdered sugar and cake mix until the batter is stiff.
  4. Mix in sprinkles if desired, but do not overmix them.
  5. Spread into greased 9"x9" pan. Place in the freezer for 1-2 hours.
  6. Take it out of the freezer and cut it into squares. Keep in the refrigerator until ready to eat.

    Mine never set up to where it could be cut- it was more or less a thick goo!:/. Where did I go wrong- I’m guessing the butter…

      I probably should have included this tip, but after I added more teaspoons of cake mix and powdered sugar until I felt that it was really thick, I actually placed it in the freezer for 2 hours. I was then able to cut it into squares. Then after that, I kept the fudge in the fridge until we ate it up. You’ll have to try it again using that method and let me know how it works out for you. I’ll make note of it in the recipe for others.

    I used another cup of confectionary sugar and the whole box of cake mix to the recipe above and beat with a mixer. I used sugar free cake mix.

    Can you use white cake mix instead of yellow cake mix?

      February 23, 2015 at 3:40 pm

      I haven’t tried using a white cake mix, so I’m not sure how it would change the taste. I think it would probably still taste good. If you do try it, let me know if you like it.

    I am looking to make some to send over seas to my boyfriend for his birthday. Any idea how long it lasts? I know typically a “cake in a jar” would last roughly 1-2(max) weeks….I was wondering about the fudge.

      Adriana, I’m not sure how long it lasts. I keep mine fudge in the fridge until it’s all eaten. If it was left out of the fridge, it would turn gooey. Sorry I can’t really answer your question.

    Nobody should eat this!!! The flour in the cake mix is uncooked and contains any number of bugs such as Salmonella and Ecoli!!! Not worth getting sick over!!!!

Every January I choose a few places in my home tha Every January I choose a few places in my home that are unorganized and are "problem areas" that are messy. I then figure out how I can organize the area and make it more functional. 

This week I tackled our clothes closet. (Swipe left to see how unorganized it was. 😳) The top shelf was really messy. I ordered some clothes containers online that weren't too expensive.  I then sorted through all the clothes, packed away clothes and bags that were not being used and taking up space, and refolded the clothes that were still being used.

The closet looks so much better! And my husband likes it too. 😀  You can see more of what I did in my Instagram stories or by going to the "Closet Organize" highlight bubble.
