Sometimes a box cake mix is a perfect base of operations for your cake considering y'all want to cut a corner or two, or considering time is of the essence, or it doesn't matter if you cutting the corner (cake pops!), or just considering you want to! I get information technology, in that location is no shame in not blistering a block completely from scratch. While I bake some cakes from scratch there are other times that I beloved to starting time with a boxed cake mix. My amend than sex activity cake recipe starts with a chocolate cake mix, and allow me tell you lot that cake is a winner!

I tested numerous yellow cake mixes that you can find at virtually grocery stores but found these two to have the best tastes according to family and friends, and me!

I establish they tasted very like, the Pilsbury was a bit moister while the Betty Crocker was a tiny scrap fluffier. The main deviation was the color, the Pilsbury was very yellowish in colour, you might not realize information technology if you but bake the Pilsbury but if yous bake information technology side by side to the Betty Crocker yous will. My mom actually preferred the BC cake mix just because of the night yellow color of the Pilsbury block. Duncan Hines makes a skillful one likewise, we just establish these were our meridian two.

The truth is you tin can use whatever cake mix yous want and yous should take pretty good results. These block mixes called for the same additions; one Cup of Water, ½ Cup of Oil, and 3 large eggs. Only the Pilsbury broil times were significantly longer than the Betty Crocker bake times. When calculation the additional ingredients called for below I found the bake time to be closer to the suggested Betty Crocker time, for both doctored up cake mixes.

Ingredients

To doctor upwards a cake mix you lot'll take the normal block mix ingredients and switch them up a bit.

Cake Mix. This is the base you will need. Different brands make different size cake mixes, for this recipe you will need ane -15.25oz Yellowish Cake Mix. I prefer Betty Crocker or Pilsbury brands. While Pillsbury had a neat flavor information technology was aggressively yellowish in color which turned some of my taste testers off.
Big Eggs. Nosotros add a total extra egg to the cake mix, this helps create a fluffier, richer cake. Make sure your eggs are at room temperature, you tin exercise this rapidly by placing them in a bowl of warm water for 5 minutes before using them.
Vegetable Oil. Vegetable oil creates an incredibly moist cake for days! I have tested using melted butter just I discover that it doesn't add together much more flavor at all and its moisture content is non as high as oil so I stick with the oil!
Buttermilk and Sour Cream. Cake mixes phone call for water but to increase season and richness we replace the h2o and employ buttermilk and sour cream instead. They both need to be at room temperature though. Room temperature ingredients help make certain everything can evenly combine for the all-time version of your cake!
Vanilla Extract. Adding a little chip of pure vanilla excerpt but gives the cake a little something extra, we never skip it!

Some people swear by adding a box of pudding mix into a block mix but we institute it didn't really practice much more than the ingredients above did!

You could add some mini chocolate chips into the concoction if you wanted! Or why non arrive a altogether cake flavor by adding some sprinkles (the jimmies kind of sprinkles) to the cake batter!

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350F/180C and spray two 8-inch or ix-inch circular cake pans with non-stick baking spray, my preferences are Bakers Joy or Pam for Blistering. Set up the pans aside.

In a large bowl mix together all of the ingredients. You lot want to make sure you mix well enough that there are no traces of egg left behind merely you don't want to overmix the batter.

The Pilsbury block concoction was quite thin while the Betty Crocker block batter was thicker. The BC is in the glass basin below and the Pilsbury block concoction is in the two block pans in the photo below information technology.

Pour the cake concoction evenly between the ii prepared pans and bake.

For eight-inch cakes I found they baked in the 25-30 minute mark as opposed to the longer times the cake box suggested. Permit the cake pans cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes before inverting the cake out direct onto a wire rack to absurd completely.

Frosting ideas

You can, of class, utilise store-bought frosting but I find if yous make your own frosting for this block no one volition ever know the cake came from a cake mix!

Some frostings you might like:

Fudgy Chocolate Frosting
Vanilla Swiss Meringue Buttercream
Strawberry Frosting
Coffee Frosting
Peanut Butter Frosting
Vanilla Buttercream

I frosted mine with my SMB recipe kickoff I added some to a layer in the middle of the cake, I used an angled spatula to spread it into an even layer then I piped a buttercream dam around the edges and added blackberry jam in the centre. The frosting dam helps go along everything in place. Then I placed the second cake layer on summit upside down, this helps create a flat top.

I then did a "crumb coat" by using a flat spatula to ice the sides and I used a cake scraper or demote scraper to remove backlog frosting. So I permit the cake chill in the fridge for 30 minutes. Finally, I added more than frosting then used a small-scale angled spatula pressed against the cake while I turned the cake turntable to create the ripples of frosting decoration.

And who doesn't honey some sprinkles added?! After these extra steps, no ane will e'er know this started from a standard cake mix box! I hope you love this Doctored Yellow Block Mix.

How to freeze

Block layers are perfect for freezing. To freeze the block layers let them cool completely on a wire rack. Once totally cooled wrap an individual cake layer in plastic wrap tightly, so wrap again, and finally wrap in aluminum foil. The three layers prevent freezer burn from happening.

When ready to apply the block layers place the wrapped cake layer on the counter at room temperature for an hour or 2 to thaw. Depending on how frozen your cake layer is and how warm the room temperature affects how long the cake will take to thaw out.

Can yous double

You can most certainly double this recipe to make 4 circular cake layers or 2 really deep cake layers. I propose pressing the 2X button on the recipe card below to double the ingredient quantities and make sure you have a large enough mixing bowl to hold all of the cake batter.
