Usually it’s from commercial suppliers, but they do “make it their own” by adding different things to the base mixes.

Some do, some make their own. Depends on the places

Yupp. That's one way. Here's some more tips. 1. Use softened butter. Whip it until it's fluffy and pale in color. 2. Add the 4 eggs to the whipped butter one at a time. 3. Sift the dry ingredients. 4. Alternate dry and milk ingredients in to the egg/ butter mixture. 5. Add more vanilla or another flavor of your choice. 6. Don't over mix. Never bake at the suggested temperature learn your oven. I bake at 335. Thumbs up to the video!

I just made a chocolate boxed cake mix with 4 eggs, 1 cup of milk, 1 stick of melted butter, half cup of oil and a box of chocolate instant pudding. I also whipped 1 can of frosting with the mixer, and used strawberry jam as the filling for my wonderful, best tasting ever cake.

For chocolate cakes, I love to mix in instant coffee in my milk. It enhances the chocolate flavour and balances the sweetness out!

Cold butter using a cheese shredder will take your cake to the next level it had my cake so fluffy and moist

You can literally add milk or water to the cake mix and pop it in the microwave for a minute. You don’t need oil or eggs if you’re just looking to curb your cake craving. I’ve done it! Oh, and I mean like a mug cake or some thing. Not the entire box at a time.

@findingawaytogettokoreaforfree

11 күн бұрын

Definitely! I make mug cakes with my box cake mix and one box can make so many! The ratio is 2:1, For example: If you use 1 cup of the cake mix, add in 1/2 cup of milk or water (preferably milk) and microwave! The texture will be a bit different but it’s delicious! And it definitely satisfies my craving.

keep at least 1/4 cup oil because the only thing it does is keep it moist!

What about eggless 🤔

Does this work for brownies

How did you come up with this? where did you go for culinary school?

Does it work for cookies

Nice

In nz the box mix has butter and milk already instead of having to swap it

I used the 2/3 cup of oil like it called for and I've been on the toilet all day, someone needs to stop that bettey crocker.

Can u list the amount for each

you could of said to let the butter cool 🥲

Butter is like 15% water and that extra egg you added is like another 45g of water. I'd reduce the milk quantity by 50g if you make these adjustments

ok. but what temperature

It looks dry.

Apart from the time saved not measuring/weighing ingredients, making these changes defeat the point of using a box mix. For all the messing about with butter, milk and extra eggs, you might as well have made it from scratch. Adding these things make it more expensive, and I would venture to say that a bag of flour and a tub of baking powder would come in cheaper than a boxed cake mix?

@djosephine

Жыл бұрын

No. This way is so much cheaper. The butter is really the only place you’re spending more money. But a lot of homemade cake recipes call for things like sour cream, cake flour instead of regular and just a lot more work than necessary.
