💭 Tips

Expert Tip: Don't over mix this dip once the cake mix goes in because you'll develop the gluten and it will get a bit sticky. Just give it a quick mix, cover, and refrigerate.

  • I found that Pillsbury cake mix works best in this recipe. The others tended to get too glutinous.
  • Some people have concerns about bacteria in raw flour in the cake mix. If you are concerned about this spread the raw cake mix out on a baking sheet and heat in the oven at 350F for 10 minutes. Some cake mixes have been heat treated so be sure to check the box first.
  • Adding in about ¼ teaspoon of almond flavoring is delicious, too.
  • Change up the sprinkles for any occasion - Pink, blue, or yellow for a baby shower would be so cute!
  • I would not use an electric mixer with this recipe. I think it develops the gluten in the cake mix too much.
  • For a softer, creamier funfetti dip recipe use just half the cake mix.
  • I like Dunkaroo Dip best served pretty close to room temperature so I try to pull it from the refrigerator about 30 minutes prior to serving.
