Cake Batter Pancakes

I definitely think these are made by the drizzle. It really enhances the cake batter flavor.

How do these taste with regular syrup?

@Anon, It’s hard to generalize for all pancake mixes but I would say add about 1 cup of yellow cake mix to every 1 1/4 cups of pancake mix.

Could you just add cake mix to boxed pancake mix? If so, do you know what ratio?

I made these and the pancakes turned out really thick (tall). The consistency was more like a soft, thin scone, very light in color. The sprinkles turned the glaze green. Still, we enjoyed eating them, but about 2 pancakes per person was plenty. I’m really more used to buttermilk-type pancakes. HOWEVER… I pulled the leftovers out of the fridge today and made pancake sandwiches with raspberry jam and vanilla frosting in between. Holy cow, these might be my new downfall…

Hi Anonymous! jeannetteknudsen is right — they reference the same ingredient, which is vanilla extract. No question is a dumb question with baking and cooking, so we’re really glad you asked!

It is the same thing.

I have a sort of a dumb question but I’m no cooking buff. In the ingredients it says vanilla extract and in the glaze it says just vanilla….is there a difference or is it the same thing?

Made this for my kids and they loved them! (so did I) Made them again w/chocolate cake mix and chocolate sprinkles. They tasted like a brownie. We took chocolate frosting from a can and microwaved it for a short time to make chocolate glaze. They were fabulous. Thanks for such an awesome recipe!

Yes. A whole cup of flour and sn additional 1/4 cup.

It is 1 cup plus 1/4 cup of flour.

is it 1 & 1/4 cups of flour or 1 1/4 cup of flour ? I dont want to screw these up !!!!!

I’m addicted to these at the age of 34! Lol. My mom visited and made them for my bday last week.

Delicious! Will definitely have to double the batch next time.

i am going to try this and add chocolate chips!!!

These were unreal! I used funfetti cake mix and it was wonderful!

try it with redvelvet cake mix and cream cheese sauce amazing

I just made these and they were wonderful. I quadrupled the recipe and used 2 boxes of cake mix instead of 4 cups. I measured the cake mix and it came to 7 cups! I also used alot of milk. The only problem I had was with the frosting having lumps of margarine. Next time I will use an electric mixer to get it to mix together more smoothly.

its fav

Thank you for asking, NO I don’t need an an excuse! My 3 year old is going to love these. I love the uncommon use of common things. Why do we ever lose our zest for sprinkles? I’m much agreed on the yellow cake batter flavor as well. Thank you for such a great idea!

I got the plate at Homegoods but don’t know the name of them.

1. Amazing recipe! So yummy, I can’t wait to make them for the rest of the family LOL!

2. I love the plate you have this pictured on. They’re my dream dishes. Anyway I could know the name of them or where they came from?

@Anonymous: don’t bash the recipe, bash the cook. you probably made it wrong. a good cook (no matter how inexperienced) can usually predict how it’s gonna come out and edit the recipe to their taste, you obviously didn’t, so stop complaining.

Wow those are some strong words. What didn’t you like about them? My family enjoyed them and people raved about them over at how sweet it is where I got the original recipe as stated above.

If I made this for my family, it would forever mark in their minds the moment they felt I began to hate them.

“Could cake batter pancakes be your new fave? ” Ahh….NO!

oh and melt canned frosting for glaze melt in microwave

my way you can use any flavor cake mix

i tried it your way then made them my way make cake mix as of the package then stir in bisquick untill pancake batter like might have to add a little more milk

Well a different brand definitely wont work Just kidding. I like yellow cake mix because I feel like it has a stronger cake batter flavor but white would work too. You may have to add more of it to get the flavor you are looking for.

will it work with any kind of cake mix? I have a white mix and its a different brand.

@Anonymous, I’m so sorry you didn’t like these. My family loved them so maybe we can figure out what went wrong. You can add more cake mix to the batter if you want a stronger cake batter taste. If the glaze was glue like, it probably needed more milk so that it has a runnier consistency.

I just made these, and they were EXTREMELY disappointing. Completely flat, and pretty much tasteless. The glaze was glue-like, and I ended up throwing it away. The ingredient list makes it difficult to know just how much milk to add, which may have had a hand in ruining the recipe for a novice chef like myself.

Wow, this looks so delicious! I especially love the glaze with the sprinkles. These pancakes are so unique
