Bonus tips

Try adding a few of these tips to your box cake mix to make it taste just like homemade!

Milk. Use whole milk instead of water. It gives it a denser texture like homemade.

Eggs. Use 3-4 eggs instead of 2 for a richer taste.

Sugar & Flour. Add 1/4- 1 cup sugar and flour to your cake mix.

Coffee. For chocolate cakes, use strong brewed coffee instead of water to deepen the flavor.

Sour Cream. Add in 1/2 cup sour cream to add a more dense, rich flavor.

Pudding. Add a small instant pudding box to the mix to add moisture and flavor.

Vanilla & Salt. Add a teaspoon of vanilla and 1/4 teaspoon of salt the mix.

Butter. Use melted butter in the place of vegetable oil for richer taste.

Mix Ins – Add a handful of chocolate chips, fruit or nuts to personalize your cake.

Frosting. Make homemade frosting!  This is a MUST for cakes. It makes all the difference the world!
