My dh has requested a yellow cake with chocolate bc, his favorite, since all of the cakes I've made have been leaving us in a box! I have a box of plain yellow cake mix (not butter recipe) but I still would like to use butter. Does anyone have any good doctored yellow cakes they'd share?

TIA,

Nikki

Have you ever tried Creme Bouquet? It's almost like a hint of lemon, its really yummy.

I haven't tried it only because I have never seen it in the stores. I may try to locate some online. I have heard so many good things about it.

You can subsitute melted butter in any cake mix in equal amount of called for oil. The butter must be melted before measuring. Let it cool a bit before adding.

This recipe on cc makes a plain yellow cake taste sooooooooo good. You won't be sorry, I guarantee it. Ya know, I mostly was a scratch cake baker most of my life until I found CC and seen the enhanced recipes for box cake mixes!! Anyhow here is the link to the recipe.

Thanks so much for the enhanced cake recipe, hellieOh. I've made the white almond sour cream which seems to use that formula, but I didn't see the butter on that one, since it's white, I guess. But I definately wanted the butter, didn't know how much to use. Can't wait to try this!

I've heard good and bad about the vanilla caramel coffee creamer. I thought I might try a couple of tablespoons of it in the cake, but I'm hesitating a little. The person who gave good reviews used white mix and the person who gave bad reviews used yellow. Has anyone used it in yellow with good results?

I've used yellow mix using the WASC recipe and it turned out good. I pretty much use it for all kinds of flavors (devil's food, dark chocolate, french vanilla, yellow etc). The only difference with the white version is that I use the whole eggs instead of the egg whites. Always comes out superb thumbs_up.gif

Well I made the cake using the yellow cake mix with the extender and added 2 T. of vanilla caramel coffee creamer. Cake tastes very good but is very light and soft. A little too airy for my taste, not enough substance for me. Hmmm...wonder if I mixed it too long?
