Tips & Techniques

  • High Altitude (3500-6500 ft):

    Follow High Altitude cake mix directions for 8-inch or 9-inch pans. For filling, increase first microwave time to 1 minute 30 seconds, second microwave time to 1 minute.

  • Did You Know?

    In the southern U.S., ambrosia cake is extremely popular. If you're offered cake in the South without your host mentioning the flavor, take delight; it will likely be ambrosia cake!

  • Variation

    If you love the warm, nutty flavor of toasted coconut, you can toast it before sprinkling on top. To toast coconut, sprinkle it in an ungreased heavy skillet and cook over medium-low heat 6 to 14 minutes, stirring frequently until browning begins, then stirring constantly until golden brown.
