Notes
How to heat-treat cake mix:
You need to heat treat your cake mix before using it. Place 1/2 cup of Funfetti boxed cake mix in a microwave-safe bowl.
Heat the cake mix in the microwave on HIGH in 30-second increments, then stir before checking for a uniform 165ºF (74ºC) internal temperature. Allow it to cool, then sift to remove any large chunks. It is now ready to use.
