Yes, it's true. I, from time-to-time, bake with a boxed cake mix. I feel as though this is a confession......hello, my name is Staci and I bake with boxed cake mixes from time-to-time.
Even my mother was surprised by this news. There are times, however, when life gets hectic and the hubby wants a dessert and, well, this is what I turn to. So, I keep 2 boxes of mix on hand. I have found that with a few simple switches/additions you can definitely improve the flavor and texture of a mix.
To any boxed cake mix you can add/substitute:
- add an extra egg
- substitute the water called for in the recipe with milk {same amount as is called for}
- substitute the oil called for in the recipe with melted butter {same amount as is called for}
- add a small box of instant pudding {added with the cake mix}
- add extract {1 teaspoon of your favorite extract}
These alternatives add a little more of a rich taste and improves the texture.
You can try some substitutions/additions or all - give it a try and see what you think!
