How to make your boxed cake mix taste like it’s from a bakery

I love baking cakes and cupcakes but I still have not found the perfect homemade recipe. So I’m going to share a little secret with you on how I make my cakes and cupcakes taste like it’s from a bakery.

Super simple really…

Take your boxed cake mix (any flavor) and swap out the ingredients you would normally add.

1. Use milk instead of water (same amount)
2. Use melted unsalted butter instead of oil (double the amount of butter)
3. Add an extra egg

That’s it! Bake according to package.

Side note: I have used several different boxed cake mix brands but I like Betty Crocker the best.
