Alrighty y'all. I've had a request for a spice cake for a wedding. Not a big deal but I'm the kind of girl that doctors plain old cake mixes. Does anyone out there have a good doctored spice cake recipe??

I made one this weekend and just used my regular box of pudding thing. But, I used the cheesecake flavored pudding. I also added 2 tsp of additional cinnamon. It was DElicious! I couldn't really pick out the cheesecake flavor in the batter, but it was definitely a richer flavor.

I made a doctored spice cake by mixing canned pumpkin into it...
Then I filled it w/ sliced apples w/ cinnamon w/ a hint of lemon and cream cheese frosting. I made this for the Pumpkin Harvest Festival Cooking contest...
All the judges loved it . It's really good. icon_smile.gif

Actually, DH offers a very nice spice cake in a box. I have made it on several occasions, with cream cheese icing. I have never added the enhancer to it, but I can only guess that it would make it better than it already is.

Were you looking for something denser, with a banana or carrot cake texture? If someone has that trick with a box cake, I'm interested, too!

I just found a recipe on the DH website that adds a butterscotch pudding to the spice cake mix along with the other ingredients as listed on the mix. It sounds yummy!

How about visiting Duncan Hines' website and use their searchbox, type spice cake, and see if you can find the one you like?

I'm a doctored cake mix girl myself, and I've doctored the DH spice mix many times. I add vanilla pudding mix and an extra egg, I also add an extra teaspoon of cinnamon but I also add 1/4 tsp ground cloves and 1/2 tsp ground ginger.

Mangia!

As long as you're adding the cinnamon, ginger and cloves why not throw in a little cardamom too. It goes beautifully with those spices and is unusual and very good.

I'm going to have to try this.
