I am in need of help as I am baking cakes right now and I have ran out of sour cream that I use in the cake mix extender and don't have time to run out to the store. I have another cake extender recipe for box mix and don't know where I got it from, and wondered if anyone has used this one.

1 cup flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking powder
1 egg
1/2 cup water
It makes a box mix into 1.5 mixes

Any help would be greatly appreciatedicon_smile.gif

I use this recipe all the time it works wonders.. The only thing, it is a little dense.. BUT great.. I am not sure what to add or decrease to make it less dense.. Other than that it is wonderful!!!!!

briansbaker thank you so much, I was starting to panic a little, nothing no worse than starting something then running out of an ingredient. I have been baking all evening for our Christmas dinner at work and THOUGHT I had enough of everything. Again thank youicon_smile.gif

I have used one very similar that & I will post below this. It was really good and I couldn't tell any difference in my cupcakes when I made it. It was nice to be able to make 30 cupcakes instead of 48 if I had of used two cake mixes.

One cake mix
one cup flour
1/2 cup sugar
tsp vanilla
tsp baking powder
1 egg
.5c water (or milk)
if box says 1/3 c oil increase to 1/2

I mix all the dry ingredients together then add the rest. You still follow the box directions and add the additional ingredients on the list. Adding the fourth egg make a heavier cake, but it is still super moist. If you want a lighter cake just omit the extra egg.

I use this one because I don't bake with sour cream most of the time. My results from this extender are still a super moist cake.
