And one of the best tips that my dear grandmother taught me that really works! Is to let your eggs sit out on the counter for a few minutes before mixing up the batter. It makes the cake rise up higher family! 👍🏽🥰

[l.victoriathomas]

Her 5 TIPS:

1) EGGS: Use 4 eggs instead of 3 eggs
2) VEGETABLE OIL: Replace the vegetable oil with butter; use 2/3 c melted, unsalted butter
3) WATER: Ditch the water; use 1 cup of buttermilk
4) PUDDING MIX: add 1 pack of Jello Pudding Mix; use flavors that compliment each other
5) VANILLA: use pure vanilla; 1 teaspoon of vanilla (or 1/2 t vanilla and 1/2 t lemon)

Bake 350 degrees
36 minutes or until toothpick is inserted and clean

If you're a "crust girl", instead if buttering and flouring the pan, butter then sprinkle pan with SUGAR. Comes out crispy. Works well on banana, zucchini, etc breads too. When I made this, topped it with warmed blueberry preserves. Goes good with lemon.

Hi, Queen. I made your cake today (11/20/2022) and I must say that it is everything you said it would be--rich, creamy, delicious. My family loved it! The only problem was it went too quickly! Thanx for those tips because they worked perfectly. I will never make a box cake following the box directions ever again!! I would recommend any bakers in the comments to make this cake if you haven't already. It's absolutely delicious!!

This was the best cake I've made in ages. My husband and I just finished eating this cake recipe, I made this afternoon and it's a BIG WOW.😮... my difference was I only had a white cake mix and box of banana pudding mix. I picked up buttermilk with my groceries today. I even had 4 oz of cream cheese and I softened and added 1 cup of confectioners sugar, 1/4 tsp vanilla flavoring, 1 Tablespoon of milk. Then I poured over my Bundt cake, to drizzle down the side. Now my husband really isn't a cake fan, but boy the comments he gave and raved over how soft and moist this cake is. He really wanted to get another piece, but I had to hurry and put the cake away.
Dear rave over this recipe forever. And I love to bake. I can only imagine what combination I will use for Christmas....May you be blessed.

Thank you so much for doing this video! My grandmother and I used to make box cakes just this way. She died in 2009 and it’s been hard for me to bake without her because it feels sad. Watching this made me want to make a cake and celebrate all the other times I made box cakes this way with my grandmother. Thank you so much! I love the way you describe what you’re doing. I am blind and I appreciate it when people actually describe everything they do not just part of what they do. Love, Pam

I think that a lemon glaze drizzled on top would make it even better! It looks delicious 🤤 😋 !

I'm a scratch cook, but EVERYONE needs a quick cake sometimes! 🙂 I've tried the mayo thing (too greasy) and the sour cream thing (too tangy), but THIS is the way to do it. And the older I get, the less my sweet tooth wants icing, so it's wonderful to be able to have a quick, moist, delicious cake good enough to stand alone. Thanks!! (and as a former software and sewing teacher, absolutely love your presentation style)

Girl you are a Queen! If I had read a recipe that added all the things you put into that box cake i would have said that won't work. Well I would be wrong because that cake was mouth watering to look at. I am definitely going to check out more of your videos.
I have made box cakes all my life just the way they told me to. I'm 66 and not too old to learn something new. God bless you.

[corethabonner]

I made this cake yesterday! Lady, if I tell you this is THE BEST Cake I’ve ever had! Omg! Thank you so much, I’m going to get me another piece 🤤😃😋

[DidiUncut]

I don't know which one I enjoyed more?? Your voice or the learning how to bake the French perfectly moist cake🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️I can listen to you talk all day long👌

[franceswilliams]

This sister knows how to cook a cake. Every time I follow her recipe it comes out perfect!!! Thank you GOD BLESS.

[melindasadiki]

We made this last night 6.18.3022 for father's day today ...OH MY GOODNESS! This is the absolute best cake. So far we love your cornbread recipe and now this. I can't wait to find more of your recipes.

[genia.bprettysavage]

I made this and I must say it was the best cake I’ve ever made!! Didn’t even taste like a box cake thank you so much ❣️

[hectorramos]

My my my, I'm so glad I was able to watch you make this french vanilla box cake. I followed your instructions and
I'm so impressed. My wife hardly ever eats cake, but she loved it and so did the rest of the family, because it did not last .it was gone before I got seconds.
Thank you. ❤

[blaqfish]

You're a very good teacher. I've never baked a cake in my life but I think I will try. Thank you!

[BBell-qtlr]

I have used the baking hacks you shared when making a red velvet cake (for Christmas) and everyone raved about the cake asking if I made it from scratch. Well, yes I did! The hacks make a huge difference in a cake mix! Thanks!

[marshahovenesian]

One of my favorite boxed cake mixes is the Duncan Hines butter cake mix. Haven't made it in a long time but it was wonderful. Extremely moist and buttery!

[Getrealpeeps]

This looks like a 7UP cake I used to bake from scratch, VERY GOOD!!!
