Philips HR 3705 is the best hand blender/ mixer for making cakes in large batches. It has large beater attachments, turbo mode and 5 speed levels which make it an excellent option for making cakes. If you are someone who bakes just occasionally, Kent 16050 would be a more budget-friendlier option. Its beater attachment is smaller. It takes slightly more time to whip up large quantities of ingredients.
