Description

I’m not a fan of straight cake mix cakes, but with the added ingredients below, you can’t beat this cake! I use it for birthday, wedding, layer cakes, etc. and people rave and rave and rave. Only a few know my secret! :)

Ingredients

  • 1 box (about 18 Oz.) Duncan Hines Butter Cake Mix
  • 1 cup Cake Flour
  • 1 cup Sour Cream
  • 1 cup White Sugar, Granulated
  • 4 whole Eggs
  • 1 stick Margarine, Room Temperature
  • ⅔ cups Water
  • ⅓ teaspoons Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Flavoring

Preparation

Combine all ingredients. Mix on low speed for about 30 seconds. Mix for 4 minutes on medium to medium-high speed. Pour into pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes.

Tips:

I’ve tried this with unsalted butter as well. It is good, but I think the cake is more moist with margarine.

Cake is done when an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Also, when you see the cake pulling away from the side of pan, it is done.

This recipe makes more batter than the typical cake mix, so be prepared to use extra pans or a larger-sized pan.

My caramel cream frosting is delicious with it!
