can the cake mix extender be used with all flavours of cake? For example could it be used in a chocolate cake or would it change the chocolatey flavour?

i use the cake mix extender in all of my cakes..especially the chocolate cake! but i also add a tbsp of dutch processed cocoa and a box of pudding in addition to the sour cream for moistness..

I've used it with chocolate. I did the recipe as is and added 1/3 cup cocoa powder. Got rave reviews.

I generaly do the same thing...I add 1/3 cup of cocoa and cut about 1/3 cup of flour out. It's awesome and everyone loves it!

Okay what exactly is cake extender and by the way Marj can i have your chocolate cake recipe? if not it's cool? couldn't hurt to ask.

Forgive me for being green.

I never bake a cake without using the extender recipe. They just taste so awesome with it. The possibilities are endless with it. You can also add coffee syrups (i.e. Torani, Davinci) to them for more flavor.

What is all this talk about cake mix extender? What is it and where do you find it? Sorry, I'm a newbie and am learning all this new information

Go to the 'recipes' section and type in 'extender'...
Its wonderful!!!!!

Is there a way to get the moistness of the extender recipe without adding extra batter? I tried the extender recipe on one of the shape pans and it overflowed. So, what ratio of yogurt (I prefer this to the sour cream), eggs, etc., can I add to the box mix to get the better flavor without adding more batter? Does that question even make sense?

If you just want a more moist box cake, you can add butter or a little mayonaise or just a box of pudding and one extra egg....but in my opinion, those dont make it taste like the extender does.
With the extra batter, you can just make a few cupcakes...or if you have a 6 inch or mini loaf pan you can make smaller cakes.

Never used the extender, but would like to try it for an upcoming cake.. the recipe says she mixes 2 mixes... do you add all of the extender ingredients to one mix or 2 mixes or both and then combine, just need some clarification.. thanks!

one extender per box.....

THANK YOU EVERYONE SO MUCH CAN'T WAIT TO TRY IT!!!!!!!!

OH AND BY THE WAY I AM SORRY IT TOOK ME SO LONG TO ANSWER AGAIN I COULDN'T FIND MY POSTS. I AM A DORK I DIDN'T SEE THE BUTTON ON THE TOP FOR MY QUESTIONS AND HAVE BEEN SEARCHING LIKE CRAZY LOL BUT NOT ANYMORE!

Wendoger: do you use the coffee creamers in anything else? When you use them in cakes, how much do you use and do you use them with extracts or in place of extracts? Do you feel you get more of an intense flavor with them?

Its not the creamers, its the syrups....like how they make italian sodas and mochas and lattes...Davinci and Torani are the most popular brands.
They are not intense like extracts so ya use more. This past week I experimented and made an orange boxed cake with an extender. Instead of one and a quarter cup of water I added one cup of orange coffee syrup. I made vanilla pudding filling and a whipped bc...it was AWESOME....orange creamsicle cake....
Yes, more intense flavor with them.
I have not tried them in any frostings as I would think it would require too much.

For the whipped bc, I made the buttercream dream, instead of milk or water, I added a quarter cup of Frostin' Pride and a couple tablespoons of whipping cream. It is waaay less sweet....which seems to be what everyone is wanting latley.
