Several months ago I came across some ways to improve a cake mix. I'm adding them here, so I don't lose them and don't have to find them again.
1 box cake mix
1 box (4 serving size) pudding in same or complimentary flavor
4 eggs
1/2 c water
1/2 c oil
1 c sour cream.
Can use milk instead of water and sour cream instead of oil
Wedding cake (denser cake):
1 box cake mix
1 c sour cream
3 eggs
1/4 c oil
1/4 c water, orange juice, or soda
Extras like 1 Tbsp lemon or orange peel, 2 to 3 tsp extract flavoring, nuts, chocolate chips, 1/2 to 1 tsp spices.
Option 3:
1 cake mix
1 cup of sifted flour
1 cup of sugar
1 cup of sour cream
4 large eggs
1 1/4 cup of liquid
bake at 325 for 1 to 1 and 1/2 hours
1 betty Crocker cake mix
1 small box instant pudding
4 eggs
1/4 oil
1 1/2 cups whole milk
