Question 1

Is this brownie cake very rich?

Accepted Answer

This cake is chocolatey, moist, and tastes like a brownie! However, I would not describe it as fudgy or rich.

Question 2

Can other Brownie Mixes be Used?

Accepted Answer

We used Duncan Hines Double Fudge Brownie Mix and have also experimented with Ghirardelli Double Chocolate Box Mix. Both worked, but our favorite was Duncan Hines as the cake layers tasted more like brownies.

We will update if we experiment with different mixes!

Question 3

Can the Brownie Cake layers be frozen?

Accepted Answer

Yes, these layers can be baked in advance, wrapped, and frozen for up to three months!

To freeze, wrap the brownie cake layers individually once they have cooled down to slightly warm or room temperature. Wrap in plastic wrap followed by foil.

For additional support, we often place the cake layers on foil-wrapped cake boards before wrapping.

To thaw: Move the wrapped cake layers from the freezer to the kitchen counter and unwrap after 30-45 minutes. Allow to warm to desired amount for assembly.

Question 4

How is this Brownie Cake different than other Chocolate Cake Mix recipes?

Accepted Answer

We have some great chocolate cake mix recipes on our site, including our easy Chocolate Mousse Cake, German Chocolate Cake Mix recipe, and more.

The texture of the doctored cake mix recipes are softer and fluffier than the brownie cake.

Today's brownie cake recipe is slightly denser than our other chocolate cake mix recipes and has a distinctive "brownie flavor". If you love brownies, you'll love this cake.
