How to Step-up your boxed cake mix:

I'm not a huge cake eater, but every now and then, a nice, moist slice of cake just sounds good.

There are several gluten-free boxed cake mixes out now, and some of them are good, but others are not so fantastic! 

However, I have learned a few tricks that can kick a boxed cake mix, up to a whole new level!

The Betty Crocker gluten-free cake mixes are definitely my favorite, but these tips can be used with absolutely any brand and size, as well as for a regular non-gluten-free cake mix.

I hope you try it out!

1. When the box says to add water to your cake mix, use milk instead.

2. Always add one extra egg. So, if the box calls for 3 eggs, use 4.

3. If the box calls for oil, use melted butter instead.

4. Adding 1 cup of sour cream, or 1 package of instant pudding mix, is very optional, but will help if you want a pretty rich cake.
