If you use expired cake mix to bake a cake the cake will be safe to eat but the cake with the expired cake mix may not taste very good.

The expired cake mix may not allow the cake to rise like it should either but the cake mix that is expired will not be harmful to eat when you make the cake out of it.

There's no need to throw out expired cake mix if you have it.

You can make cakes out of expired cake mix if you want too and it will be safe to eat.

But if you're making cakes for something such as a birthday party, wedding etc then it would be best to use fresh cake mix or make the cake from scratch.

I've used expired cake mix before and it tasted a bit different and didn't rise properly but the cake from the expired cake mix was still very safe to eat.
