How to make a boxed cake mix taste homemade {“doctored up” cake mix}
This is the best way to make a boxed cake mix taste homemade! Use a convenient & inexpensive boxed cake mix along with a few staple pantry ingredients to "doctor up" the cake mix. The result will be a perfectly moist, fluffy, rich cake that tastes like it came from a bakery.
Ingredients
1boxcake mix(15-18 oz cake mix, any flavor)
1box (3.4 oz)instant pudding mix(one that matches cake flavor)
1cupsour cream
1cupvegetable or canola oil
4large eggs
1/2cupmilk
1teaspoonvanilla extract
pinch of salt
Instructions
Beat together all the ingredients until a smooth and combined batter forms.
Bake according to package instructions.
Notes
Because of the additions to the cake mix, you will have much more batter than normal. Take care not to overfill your baking dish. You only want to fill it 1/2 - 2/3 full. It will rise while baking.DO NOT get the cook n' serve pudding mix. This will not work and it's completely different from the instant pudding mix.DO NOT prepare the pudding, just use the dry powder.I've noticed that the cake box sizes are all different depending on what brand you get. Most of them are from 16 oz- 18 oz. So, basically, any cake mix will work as long as it's within that range.
