Make boxed cake mix taste close to homemade

Found this tip online and definitely am using it!

To any boxed cake mix you can add/substitute:

  • add an extra egg
  • substitute the water called for in the recipe with milk {same amount as is called for}
  • substitute the oil called for in the recipe with melted butter {same amount as is called for}
  • add a small box of instant pudding {added with the cake mix}
  • add extract {1 teaspoon of your favorite extract}
Follow the instructions on the box.
These alternatives add a little more of a rich taste and improves the texture.
You can try some substitutions/additions or all - give it a try and see what you think!
