Help your Box Cakes taste home made... Cake Mixes No matter what flavor of cake mix you purchase there’s several ways you can fool your guests into thinking you made your cake from scratch. By knowing these simple tricks your next cake will be gobbled up in no time: If using a white, yellow or chocolate cake mix substitute whole milk, coconut milk or buttermilk for the water. If using buttermilk you may need to add a extra splash or two to get the liquid consistency you’re looking for. Add 2 TBSP of all purpose flour, 1 egg and 1 TBSP Sugar to any cake mix. Doing so will result in a “heavier” type cake. Chocolate cake mixes tastes SO much better when you substitute coffee for the water. {Yes, I know I already said that but I’m trying to instill it in your head!} If baking a chocolate or white cake mix throw in a cup of semi sweet chocolate morsels. This will make the batter a little more moist. You can also put mini semi sweet chocolate morsels or chocolate savings on top of the icing for an extra special touch! When whipping up a carrot cake mix leave out the shredded carrots that are provided and grate your own. If your cake mix calls for butter, melt it first and add when it’s cooled. This will ensure the batter doesn’t become clumpy. Allow PURE Vanilla Extract to become your friend when baking. Add a dash of pure vanilla extract into pancake, brownie, cookie and cake mixes. To give a white cake mix extra depth, after the cooling process poke holes with a straw into your cake. Prepare a box of your favorite flavored Jell-O using 1 C cold water and 1 C boiling hot water. Pour half the mixture over the cake and let it sit for 4-6 hours. When using a chocolate frosting add 1 tsp of butter along with ½ tsp of vanilla extract to loosen up the icing and get a better flavor. Add a package of pudding mix right out of the box to make your cake moist.
