Hello, I have a cake mix box in my pantry and I’m looking for simple recipes based on that. I also want to make my own chocolate frosting. Amy recipes and suggestions are appreciated, thanks!

    • Substitute the water with milk

    • Substitute the same volume of oil for butter - make sure butter is not liquid but room temp and soft (it’s very important that the butter be allowed to fully melt while only in the oven otherwise it’ll just pool all at the bottom of the pan and it gets gross)

    • Add another egg yolk

    This takes a box mix from eh to absolutely phenomenal. The box mixes are the way to go since they’re premeasured, they have the perfect ratios of flour, sugar, leaveners, and they’re sized for normal cake pans.
