The Swaps You Need To Make To Give Your Boxed Cake More Flavor Are:

Chocolate Cake
Hot Water

Use HOT water. It makes it taste CHOCOLATE-IER.

Egg Yolks

Add amount of eggs called for, add two extra egg yolks. Extra yolks add density and moisture.

White Cake

Add MILK, not water, when your box mix calls for liquid. The milk adds density, fat, extra flavor

Egg WHITES

Not adding yolks to the cake makes the cake fluffy and whiter! But taking out the egg yolks removes fat so add an extra two tablespoons of butter above.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract for better flavor.

All Cake Mixes:

Use BUTTER instead of oil. The butter adds a richness and depth of flavor that most boxed cake mixes are missing.

Sprinkling the top with SUGAR not only gives it a sweet crunchy texture but the weight of the sugar prevents the cake from rising too much while it bakes.

Make Extra LAYERS- Cut each round of cake in half to create layers creating an equal cake-to-frosting ratio! More frosting will create extra moistness throughout the cake.

Enjoy!
