    I made this cake this weekend with your lemon cheesecake frosting. It was a huge hit! No one could tell it was a doctored cake. It was soooo moist! Thank you for sharing! ❤

    There's nothing wrong with using cake mixes, anything that saves time is a win in my book. Also, I can't make a fluffy vanilla cake from scratch like a box mix does, so I think it's better sometimes. Can't wait to try this!

    I’m throwing a last minute party for my boyfriend and I don’t have time between work and the party to make a cake from scratch. I felt bad about using a boxed cake. I’m super excited to try your recipe because I really wanna make his cake a little more special than a boxed cake but I simply don’t have the time. I can’t wait to try it 😁

    This worked out really well! I omitted the lemon rind and used 3 T lemon juice, and the flavor is great. More reviews once the birthday boy gets to dig in (and I taste more than licking the pan).

    Great recipe. The bottom of the pan and the side of the pan makes a 90° angle so although the pan is circular there is a corner at that 90° point running around the pan.

    I made this recipe a few times. First time it came out great and moist. The other times it came out more spongy. If you put different sized eggs does that change it? Or….. does that happen when it’s overcooked? Please help!

    Hello new Subbie!! I have a quick question you added an extra egg is it because of the 1/4 cup of cake flour..the boxes already calls for 3. I trying a lemon box mix and it was SOO cakey…like doughy! Not sure..I added butter instead of oil..maybe that’s a difference..please help!!!

    Heres a quick box cake upgrade.... 1 box of cake mix 1 small pudding mix 1 cup liquid 1 Tbl vanilla 4 eggs 1 stick butter 1/2 cup oil 1/4 cup flour Use a pudding flavor that compliments the cake flavor. Vanilla pudding works for any flavor, ive used it with everything!! Use milk, coffee, juice, soda, buttermilk, yogurt, sour cream for the cup of liquid. I also mix it up a lot until its completely smooth. Ive never had a tough cake. With box cake ingredients its difficult to over mix it. If you make 2 box mixes then double the ingredients. Ive used this recipe for 20 years, since 2005ish. It always comes out great!! *** I have forgotten the extra flour many times and did not really notice a diffrence. Play around with the recipe to see if you like the extra flour, if you dont then leave it out❤

    I still can't get over how the companies not only changed the box sizes, but also the entire formula! None of those old recipes (like in cake mix doctor) work anymore. They're way over leavened full of holes and tunnels. They destroyed an entire consumer market 😡

    if you do a reverse creaming method, it eliminates most of the tunneling, I have found. (cream the liquid fat (melted butter and/or oil in recipe) with the dry cake mix til it all looks like crumbly sand, and THEN add the rest of all other ingredients. The batter MAY stay lumpy (with some mixes), but it always bakes up perfectly. Mix with a whisk always, avoid electric mixers, they are not necessary, I have found. mix til just combined, and always use room temp ingredients

    Do you ever find that boxed cake mix tastes a bit like cardboard? I mean, undoctored.
