Today’s Featured Company:
Every now and then I discover a company that just has it all. Dassant Premium Baking Mixes is just that place. Thanks to my partner during the gift guide, I received several baking mixes for review, from Dassant. I don’t know how she found them, but I am so glad she did.
Dassant Mixes represent fine baking traditions from around the world. Each homemade recipe is rich in history, oven-fresh flavor, and the irresistible aroma of home style baking. From the world famous Classic Beer easy bread recipe to the Truffle Brownie Mix brownies, Dassant makes each recipe easy to prepare, convenient, and of the highest quality. Each cooking mix offers a “from-scratch-taste” and has “stood-the-test-of time” with our customers for over 25 years. Quality, convenience, satisfaction – and that’s Dassant.
Yep – I received all of the mixes shown above and I was absolutely thrilled. I didn’t know which one of the baking mixes I wanted to try first, but finally settled on the Vanilla Pound Cake.
In this excellent product, a warm vanilla flavor is engulfed in our super dense homemade mix Vanilla Pound Cake. A great base for a variety of uses, this pound mix cake is perfect when topped with fresh fruit and a dollop of whipped cream. Have fun finding ways to slice up this sweet treat for family and friends.
Preparation was incredibly easy. I just added water, oil and eggs to the mix, stirred and poured into a loaf pan for 50 minutes. It took me literally minutes to get this in the oven. My house filled with the yummy scent of vanilla, and I have to admit that I got a little impatient waiting for it to finish cooking. I let it cook and we dove right in. I could have put a frosting on it {they have several suggestions and tips for each mix on the Dassant website}, but I wanted to try it “bare”. I sprinkled a little powdered sugar on top instead.
I had a hard time keeping everyone away from the cake while it cooled, but the minute it was ready we each had a slice. Oh my goodness – I honestly did not expect it to taste so much like homemade. From the rich flavor to the moistness, it was perfect.
My daughter and I recently made the Premium Truffle Brownie Mix and it was equally delicious.
Each mix has a video showing how to make it, and a description of the product. I had so much fun watching these, and it also made me quite hungry. Here is the video of the Truffle Brownie Mix:
I am completely swept away with Dassant Premium Baking Mixes, and I’m pretty sure you will be too. Their prices are so reasonable, and these would make a fabulous holiday gift – you could even make a gift basket with a variety of mixes! Several of the mixes contain no trans-fat!
Make sure you check out their fabulous recipe section – there are so many creative {and yummy} ideas of other things you can make using their baking mixes. Just a couple of recipes that can be made with the Truffle Brownie Mix are Butter Cup Brownies and Almond Toffee Crunch Cookies. I just know I am going to stock up on their mixes, as we will never get bored in the dessert department! Don’t miss Scotty Mac’s blog!
