This tastes so close to regular (wheat) boxed cake mix. Really good. Add 1/4 cup cocoa powder (or more depending on how chocolatey you want it) to make into a chocolate cake. Or try adding some lemon extract to make a lemon cake. Lots of possibilities.

I just got the four packages in the mail yesterday. I bought the vanilla cake mix because there’s a lot of different versions of cake I can make. Today I followed the instructions on the cake and added:

3 eggs
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup of canola oil

Into the dry cake mix I added:
1/2 tsp of cinnamon
1/4 tsp of nutmeg
1/4 tsp of cloves

At the end I folded in by hand:
4 grated carrots
1/2 cup crushed walnuts.

Cake came out excellent – Very moist, just the right amount of sweet and delicious!! We all loved it.

Next time I’ll make a chocolate cake and add chocolate cocoa and chocolate chips to the batter.

This is a great mix for a 9×13 or two round pans. It’s plenty of dough to do the job nicely. This came out nice and moist and provides a great base for experiments… We wanted a lemon cake one day for a special birthday for my husband’s celiac mother. We used a little lemon extract and lemon zest in the cake. After it was baked we mixed a little sugar with lemon juice, heated it and poured in on top the cake after first poking the cake with a toothpick to create small holes for absorbing our yummy sweetened lemon concoction. Sorry I can’t tell you my proportions as I simply guessed (a habitual way of approaching cooking for me). Think creatively and enjoy, knowing that you’re starting with a great base!
