Think outside the box with these tips to elevate your boxed cake mix into memorable desserts.
As an avid baker, I’m tired of being embarrassed to admit that I am a huge fan of cake mix. There’s no doubt that homemade cake has superior flavor, but there's also no denying the ease of a quick and ready-to-go mix. Cake mix is there for you, whether there are store shortages or you just need something fast. But it’s even better when you can have the convenience of a boxed cake mix with the personal touch of homemade cakes.
My favorite hack is to mix a 12-ounce can of soda with a standard cake mix. I omit the eggs and oil in this case. The carbonation in soda causes its fizz, making it a great leavening agent, which lends a light, moist texture to baked goods.It goes without saying that butter has a lot more flavor than vegetable oil, and simply substituting softened or melted butter for the oil will give you a cake with a much richer flavor. Butter leads to a much better texture, too.
Most boxed mixes call for adding three eggs; the eggs act as an emulsifier and help bind the other ingredients together. For a special occasion, opt for four eggs instead of three to enhance the richness of the cake. The extra fat from the egg yolk will create a cake with more substance that tastes a little more luxurious.A little more vanilla is never a bad thing, so consider boosting the flavor of any boxed mix with a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
. While vanilla is always an excellent tried-an-true option, any extract can enhance the flavor of your cake. Play around with using other extracts, like almond, peppermint, lemon, coconut, banana or orange, depending on your preferences. Cakes with mix-ins always taste more special, so consider stirring in a cup of a chopped, dry extra ingredient like chocolate chips,
, shredded coconut, blueberries, dried pineapple or nuts. You can also add mix-ins to your frosting, or use them for decorations on top of the frosted cake. Line the bottom of your prepared cake pan with slices of your favorite fruit — apples, peaches, pineapple and strawberries work well here. Pour the cake mix on top, and you’ll have an upside-down cake.mix with cake mix for additional flavor, moisture, and texture.
