Has anyone came up with a recipe to replace the Disney Princess Cool Bake Magic Oven mixes?
The mixes are gelatin based which causes the cakes to “rise” when cooled. Obviously, real cake mixes will not work with this because of the danger of raw eggs, and the fact that there is no heat to actually cook the cake. I would really like to find a way to duplicate the recipe at home, because otherwise we’ll constantly be running out to buy mixes.
I can’t use the recipes for the traditional ez-bake oven. The Disney Oven uses ice to “bake” the cake. It’s not actually baking it, it’s using gelatin to solidify the cake.

This is just one of many I found at this website http://www.lynettee.com/kidfood10.htm
Children’s Chocolate Cake Mix
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup vegetable shortening
In a medium bowl, combine sugar, cocoa powder, flour, baking soda and salt. Stir with a wire whisk until blended. With a pastry blender, cut in shortening until evenly distributed and mixture resembles corn meal. Spoon about 1/3 cup of the mixture into each of 11 small containers with tight fitting lids or Ziploc bags. Seal containers. Label with date and contents. Store in a cool dry place. Use within 12 weeks. Makes 11 packages of Children’s Chocolate Cake Mix for Easy Bake style oven.
To Use:
1 package cake mix
4 tsp. water
Mix together and stir with a fork or spoon until blended and smooth. Pour mixture into greased and floured 4 inch round miniature baking pan. Follow directions for child’s oven, or bake in mom’s preheated 375* oven for 12 to 13 minutes. Remove from oven and cool in pan on a rack for 5 minutes.
Invert onto a small plate and remove pan. When cool, frost with Children’s Chocolate Frosting. Serves 2 children.
Enjoy!
