Hey everyone,
I just want to start out by saying I hope everyone is doing well. Today I’m going to talk to you about how to make a boxed cake taste homemade. I have found several ways to make a boxed cake taste homemade. I looked it up on Facebook. I clicked on icon at the top of the page as if you are going to logout, on the top of that page I searched for “how to make a cake taste homemade.”
For all boxed cake mixes, you can add buttermilk to your boxed cake mix. You will want to substitute the buttermilk for the oil/butter and water/milk. What ever the measurements are for the oil/butter or water/milk will be the total of the buttermilk. For example: if the oil/butter is a 1/2 cup and the water/milk is 1 cup then you will measure 1 1/2 cups of buttermilk.
For the devil’s food or chocolate cake, you can add coffee instead of water to the devil’s foods or chocolate boxed cake mix. One other way you can give devil’s food or chocolate cake a little boost in taste is to add a handful or more of chocolate chips to the cake mix. You can also add chocolate shavings. You can sray your pans with a nonstick spray, and sprinkle your choice of nuts and sugar to the pan. You can do this with any boxed cake mix.
For Lemon, yellow, butter, spice or white cake mixes, you can added yogurt to the boxed cake mixes. You can use lemon, plain or vanilla yogurt to the Lemon, yellow, butter, spice or white boxed cake mix. You will add 6 ozs of lemon, plain or vanilla yogurt, 2 tbl (tablespoons) of oil, 2/3 cup water or buttercream, and you can add the same amount of eggs as you would on the boxed cake mix instructions. Instead of the lemon yogurt, you can add 1-2 tsp (teaspoons) of fresh lemon juice and and 1/4 teaspoons of salt to any lemon, white or yellow boxed cake mix. All of the boxed cake mixes are very sweet so this will help balance the flavors. You can add orange juice, orange zest and a 1-2 tsp of orange extract to the yellow or white cake mix. The plain and vanilla yogurt can be use with any boxed cake mix.
When you are baking the basic yellow, chocolate or white cake, sift the mix into the bowl. You can add applesauce instead of oil, and vanilla to any cake batter your making. You can try adding 2 Tbl spoons of mayonnaise to your cake mix to give it a homemade taste. When baking carrot boxed cake mix, you can add fresh carrots to the cake mix. It will taste like you made it from scratch. You can also use coconut milk instead of the milk/water or oil/butter.
I haven’t tried everything on here, but I have added an extra egg or two, butter instead of oil and I added milk instead of the water. It turned out just like a homemade cake. It was much easier than making from scratch. I’ve made my share of homemade cakes. When I made homemade cake, I used the cake flour instead of all purpose. Cake flour is I finer flour than all purpose flour. It is more expensive to use cake flour. You can use the all purpose flour to make cake from scratch.
