well folks, I made the cake with that less than recent use by date. I rang Greens, using the toll free number on the box. They advised me that the mix would not be toxic, but they would not recommend that I waste my eggs! I decided to plough on, after all it was Mr M's birthday and I didn't really have time to take a trip to the shops, or make a "real" cake. Superpops advised that it may not rise as much as it should, and boy was she right! It was dense and rather small. Mud is an apt description! The icing however was divine! Sorry Mr M, I knew it was too rich for you!

It still looks quite delicious. I wonder how many phonecalls Greens get to ask whether you can use cake mix that is 4 years out of date... hilarious!
ReplyDeletePS - it was the thought that counts
Mudcake is my fave.
