    This is especially true for Amish housewives. And, keep in mind, this isn’t sexist, this is just a matter of Amish society still being very gender defined. Each gender has very specific roles. Women tend to do the cooking, baking, housework, and in general just anything in the kitchen.

    A Piece of Cake!

    With that in mind, it’s not uncommon to see a box of Duncan Hines or Betty Crocker in an Amish pantry.

Amish Boxed Cake Mix Recipes are super!

    ❓ FAQ About Amish Cooks and Boxed Cake Mix

    Do The Amish Buy Boxed Cake Mix?

    This is a very broad question. But, the short answer: yes. I mean, just like with any group of people there are wide variations.

Amish cooks are the same, there is wide variation. But as a general rule, it's not uncommon to see a box of Duncan Hines or Betty Crocker tucked away in a pantry to use in a pinch!
