Food Product Review: Pillsbury Moist Supreme Reduced Sugar Cake Mix

I can still remember the days when Saccharin was the only alternative to sugar. If you were diabetic, or trying to reduce your sugar intake for any reason, your choices were to forego sweets, or to buy Jell-O, pudding, and other mixes that contained Saccharin.

I don't like the taste of Aspartame any better, but Splenda® tastes so much like real sugar that it's hard to tell them apart. That's why, when I found that Pillsbury had come up with a cake mix that contained 50% less sugar, I just had to try it. Read my "Product Review: Pillsbury Moist Supreme Reduced Sugar Cake Mix" and find out if it's any good or not!

Product Description
I found the Pillsbury Moist Supreme Reduced Sugar Cake Mix in the Devil's Food and in the Classic Yellow flavors. An 18.25 ounce box makes one- 13X9 inch cake, two- eight-inch rounds, a Bundt® cake, or 24 cupcakes- just like a standard cake mix. The directions are even pretty much the same: just add 1-1/4 cups water, 1/2 cup oil and 3 eggs, then beat with a mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes.

Pour the batter into a pan that's been lightly coated with cooking spray or shortening and flour, and bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. A 13X9 inch cake takes 31 to 35 minutes to bake. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Price and Availability
I bought the Pillsbury Moist Supreme Reduced Sugar Cake Mix for a buck a box at my local Big Lots. They are also available at some Meijer and Kroger stores. You can also order these products at the Pillsbury Online Store.
