Ingredients

  • 1 box (15.25 oz) cake mix (NOT one with pudding added in the mix)
  • 1 cup full-fat sour cream
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/3 cup canola or vegetable oil

Instructions

  • Heat oven according to cake mix directions. Usually it's 325° for glass pans and 325° for dark, nonstick pans.
  • Spray whatever pan you are using with cooking spray. You can make this in a 9x13 baking pan, 2 9" round cake pans, bundt pan, or 24 cupcakes. If making cupcakes I would use cupcake liners instead.
  • In a mixing bowl combine the dry cake mix, sour cream, eggs, milk, and oil. Blend together until well combined but be sure to not over mix. I use a handheld blender but you can also use a wooden spoon or whisk by hand.
  • Pour into the baking dish and cook according to the package instructions on the back of the boxed cake mix.

Notes

I prefer the Betty Crocker Super Moist boxed cake mixes. Use whatever one you prefer but make sure it does not have the added pudding mix in the cake. It will specifically say 'pudding in the mix' on the front of the box. Don't get that one. Refer to the picture in the post to see the difference.
