Take your box cake mix to the next level with this easy recipe! A few simple additions make it extra moist and delicious.

Ingredients

  • 1 box yellow/white cake mix*
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 1/3 cup water or milk (room temperature)
  • 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 cup sour cream (one 250g carton, room temperature)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 325°F.

  2. 2

    Grease and flour two 8" cake rounds (I use Homemade Cake Release), line with parchment.

  3. 3

    Wrap cake rounds with damp Evenbake strips (optional).

  4. 4

    Combine all dry ingredients and whisk together.

  5. 5

    Add wet ingredients and mix until combined. I use my KitchenAid on low for 2 minutes but you can also do this by hand.

  6. 6

    Divide the batter between the pans and bake for approximately 50 minutes.

  7. 7

    Cool in pans on wire rack for 10mins, then turn cakes out onto wire racks to cool completely.
