At-home baking is on the rise as we shelter in place during the coronavirus pandemic. And while baking can be therapeutic for those who bake often, it can feel like a terrifying science experiment for those who don’t.

That’s why we’ve gathered 11 recipes that use boxed cake mix, which takes some of the science out of baking. Pre-packaged cake mix already includes the correct ratio of flour, leavener (baking soda and baking powder) and sugar that provides a solid base for a baked dessert.

The recipes below incorporate add-ins that make the mix even better. Think Chocolate Peanut Butter Ooey Gooey Cake, Mounds Bar Chocolate Coconut Cookies, Chocolate Chip Cake Mix Cookies and so much more.
