Much-loved South African household brand, SASKO has announced the launch of two new flavour variants in its popular SASKO Bake Mix range - Red Velvet and Sweet Dough.

With SASKO’s new Red Velvet Bake Mix, the signature cake that evokes much excitement as the first slice is placed on a plate, will now be easy to whip up and bake in the comfort of your home. This delicious and easy to bake mix is versatile and is equally well-received as a cupcake or even as a cake pop.

The new SASKO Sweet Dough Mix is an equally tasty and versatile offering. It’s a welcome shortcut for busy cooks hankering after vetkoek, doughnuts or delicious juicy koeksisters. This indulgent memory trip in a bite tastes just as good as the fresh doughnuts Ouma used to serve over weekends – or when mom wasn’t watching.

In addition to the two new flavours, SASKO Bake Mixes packaging has also received a makeover and features clean lines, with SASKO’s signature Seshweshwe-inspired print, which speaks to our South African heritage.

The SASKO Bake Mix range also features Vanilla Flavoured Bake Mix, Chocolate Flavoured Bake Mix, Bran Bake Mix, Scone Bake Mix, and a very handy Pancake, Flapjack and Waffle Mix. There is something for everyone and thanks to SASKO, it’s simply a case of adding a handful of extra ingredients to satisfy that craving.
