Panda Cake Mix Instructions & Baking Guide

One of the things our pioneers love most about Panda Cake Mixes is just how simple they are to use.

Whether you're baking a quick batch of muffins, preparing a celebration cake or simply replacing lost instructions, this guide contains everything you need to create delicious gluten-free and lower-carb cakes using Panda.

Each mix has been carefully developed to provide beautifully light cakes with minimal ingredients and very little baking experience required.

(I believe the written instructions showing 12 tsp vanilla may simply be a typo and should read 2 tsp.)


Flavour Boosters

🍋 Lemon Cake

For an even brighter flavour:

Add the zest and juice of one unwaxed lemon to every 2-egg batch.


🍫 Chocolate Cake

Delicious as it is, but for extra texture try adding:

  • Cacao nibs
  • Chopped hazelnuts

☕ Coffee & Walnut Cake

For a deeper coffee flavour:

  • Add one shot of espresso, or
  • Dissolve 1 tsp instant coffee in 15ml hot water before adding to the batter.
