This simple life hack will change the way you make boxed cake mix forever! I've spent a lot of time avoiding boxed cake mix...it doesn't compare to making cake from scratch, but many times people are in a pinch and only have the resources to make a cake from a box, so I thought I'd share this super simple method to elevate that boxed cake to the NEXT LEVEL! Should I try more boxed cake mix hacks? There are so many more!

After working at a bakery I can tell you they just use box cake and not homemade

[Jaisha]

Yupp. That's one way.

Here's some more tips.
1. Use softened butter. Whip it until it's fluffy and pale in color.
2. Add the 4 eggs to the whipped butter one at a time.
3. Sift the dry ingredients.
4. Alternate dry and milk ingredients in to the egg/ butter mixture.
5. Add more vanilla or another flavor of your choice.
6. Don't over mix.

Never bake at the suggested temperature learn your oven.
I bake at 335.

Thumbs up to the video!

Did this with funfetti boxed mix a couple weeks ago and it’s amazing

I did already do the milk and butter part but I didn’t know about the extra egg…thank

I just made a chocolate boxed cake mix with 4 eggs, 1 cup of milk, 1 stick of melted butter, half cup of oil and a box of chocolate instant pudding. I also whipped 1 can of frosting with the mixer, and used strawberry jam as the filling for my wonderful, best tasting ever cake.

Cold butter using a cheese shredder will take your cake to the next level it had my cake so fluffy and moist

I also recommend adding 2 fingers of bourbon to a slightly chilled glass. 3 drops of filtered water. Then drink as you bake.

Also adding in a pack of pudding-mix into it (of the same flavor) makes for a great addition!

My box doesn’t call for brown sugar but my tastebuds do 🤣

[nixxiethecat]

To be honest, I still use vegetable oil or Canola for box mix cake because it makes it more moist

Can we get a full list of ingredients with their measurements, please? I want to know how much butter you used since you didn't say if it was 1 or 2 sticks that you used

[fruitarian]
