Here's a great cake mix extender recipe to bring those 15.25 oz. boxed cake mixes back up to 18.25. It works well with white, yellow, chocolate, carrot, lemon, spice, and confetti cake mixes. This is much easier than keeping an extra box of each of the above-mentioned to do the extending.

I posted this version for extending the downsized cake mixes quite some time ago. It is for one mix at a time. I don't use mixes very often, but I found that this makes a cake very close to homemade.
Eddie I have used this modification when using a cake mix with excellent results. To the average size cake mix add: 1/2 cup flour 1/2 cup sugar 1 tsp, baking powder Substitute milk for the amount of water that the mix calls for Use melted butter instead of oil, ( I used 1 cube ) 1 tsp. vanilla Add 1 extra egg Mix as per the package directions. You will have a noticeably larger amount of batter. I used 2, 9" Wilton cake pans, which are a little deeper than most average 9" pans. If you are using regular 9" pans I would suggest using 3 pans, otherwise it may overflow. This recipe made the highest 9" cake I ever got out of a cake mix and the cake tasted almost like homemade. I haven't tried it with a chocolate cake mix, but I think I would use 1/4 cup cocoa and 1/4 cup flour instead of the 1/2 cup flour as listed above. Eddie | ||

A Message To The 'From Scratch' Contingent:
1) The very act of opening the box and finding a gift bag inside brings to mind the joy of Christmas morning. 2) "Propylene Glycol Mono and Diesters of Fatty Acids" Let that roll off your tongue a few times. It is the sound and rhythm of poetry. Your cake is a poem. Mind blown! 3) Numbers 1 and 2 are so awesome we don't even need a #3. Hi, Ben! | ||
