Steps:

  • Buttermilk method: Substitute buttermilk for all the liquid the box calls for. Because it's so thick, you might have to add slightly more volume of buttermilk than a direct one-to-one ratio. Whole milk method: Substituting whole milk for the water will also make a big difference. It makes it more dense and more like a homemade cake Coffee method: Substituting brewed coffee for the water, ounce per ounce. Just make sure it's not too hot Yogurt method: Lemon yogurt (in lemon, butter, yellow, spice or white cakes mixes) makes a great substitute for some of the liquid called for on the box. Use 6 oz lemon yogurt, 2 T. oil and 2/3 cup water or buttermilk, then add the eggs called for on the box. Plain or vanilla yogurt will go with any cake mix flavor. Salt method: Add 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1 to 2 teaspoons of fresh lemon juice to any of the yellow or white cake mixes. All commercial cake mixes are very sweet, especially if they are frosted, and this helps balance the flavors. Applesauce method: When making the basic cake (white, yellow, chocolate, etc.), sift the powder mix first. Then use applesauce instead of oil and add vanilla no matter what flavor cake you're making. Pudding method: Add pudding mix (ie. lemon cake mix, lemon pudding). For cake mixes that don't already include pudding. Butter method: Add melted butter instead of the oil Orange juice method: Turn a yellow cake mix into an orange cake by using orange juice instead of water, add a tsp or two of extract for more orange Coconut milk method: Use coconut milk (full fat) to replace the liquids in both chocolate and vanilla cake mixes.
