Cake Mix Biscotti!
CAKE MIX BISCOTTI BACKSTORY
Mark and I just returned from a glorious 14 day vacation to Italy. It truly was the trip of a lifetime.
Florence, Rome, Tuscany with so many wonderful places in between! One of the highlights of the trip?
An outdoor concert featuring Andrea Bocelli in his home town of Lajotica. The concert was really outdoors in a huge field, but the sound, underneath the stars, in Italy? Well I’m sure you get the idea.
After several wonderful days in Florence, we took a high speed train to Rome, where we soaked up the amazing culture and enjoyed a Gelato or two – like we did here at the Piazza Navona.
Another highlight of our trip was Cantucci Toscani – Italian Almond Biscotti! We developed a real passion for these delicious little Italian cookies. Ok, it was close to obsession.
By the time we were ready to leave our last location, the beautiful Castello del Nero in Tavernelle val di Pesa – we were hooked! They were bringing us two bowls at a time. 🙂
I was determined I would have to learn to make biscotti when we returned home. By the way, if you ever want to visit the most romantic and luxurious hotel spa in Tuscany, the Castello del Nero is it!
We would go back in a heartbeat! An amazing facility, excellent staff and customer service and well the food makes you think you are in Heaven. Yes, it’s that good.
This resort is a Michelin One Star, and the Chef even gave me his recipe for these amazing biscotti!
So what is Biscotti Cake?
Now before we get to the fun stuff – making your very own biscotti from a cake mix – just like Betty Crocker! (Ha! Ha!) I wanted to share some very cool information.
A long ago practice was to use leftover cake (who has leftover cake?) and make biscotti. Biscotti cookies are twice baked, so cooks would like their leftover cakes (think stale) into small strips and bake them twice to get a hard crunchy biscotti.
These leftover biscotti cakes weren’t layer cakes, but usually a denser pound cake or loaf style of cake.
TIPS FOR MAKING PERFECT CAKE MIX BISCOTTI
- Blend the ingredients well, including the almonds.
- Follow the recipe instructions exactly.
- Mixing up the ingredients, I found the dough to be a bit sticky. I made sure my board and hands were well floured!
- Roll the dough so that you will get a biscotti ‘shape’ when they are sliced – once baked they will look like a biscotti cake.
- Make sure the biscotti dough slices are thin enough so that you will get a lovely crunch on the second bake.

CAKE MIX BISCOTTI ~ CANTUCCI TOSCANI
These amazing Cake Mix Biscotti baked up like a dream, and my family raved about them at a recent Brunch we had together.
And they all went home with little bags of biscotti! Of course I kept a few back for us! You can be creative here too, maybe add some dried fruit like cranberries, or some mini chocolate chips?

Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 Yellow Cake Mix - 15.25 oz/432g
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 4 large eggs - room temperature
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter - melted
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup almonds - sliced or whole, raw
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries - or chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350F degrees.
Pour the cake mix into a mixing bowl. Stir in sifted all purpose flour.
Make a well in the centre and add the eggs, margarine and vanilla extract.Stir in the almonds.
With an electric beater mix on medium speed for 2 to 3 minutes until the dough does not stick to the sides of the mixing bowl. It will look and feel like play dough!
On a lightly floured board, divide dough into two halves.
Roll each half into a log about 1" in diameter.
Roll each log gently to the edge of the board and then continue rolling it onto a lightly sprayed 11” x 15” baking sheet.
Flatten the top of each cookie log until it is about 3" wide.
Bake for 20 minutes.
Remove baking sheet from the oven and let stand for 10 minutes.
Reduce oven temperature to 325 and do not turn off.
Gently slide one cookie log onto the board that you rolled out the dough on.
Using a serrated knife or better still an electric carving knife, slice each log across the width into 3/4" slices.
Place cookies cut side down back onto the baking sheet and return them to the oven for another 10 minutes.
Remove cookies to cooling rack to cool completely.
Enjoy!
Notes
The crispy and hard crunch of a biscotti comes from double baking. In this recipe 20 minutes, slice and then bake another 10 minutes. These are so easy to make!
