I love baking. I love it, but rarely have the time for it. So, I use a good ol’ cake box mix when I can. Here is a way to elevate YOUR box mix so your family is drooling over your sweets.

Materials you will need:

• Box mix of your choice (I used a red velvet box mix)
• One 3.4 ounce box of INSTANT pudding mix. Make sure you choose a pudding flavor that goes with your cake mix (Vanilla->Vanilla, Chocolate/Red Velvet-> Chocolate, etc.)
•  One cup of sour cream or plain greek yogurt (You don’t need much, get the smallest container)
•  4 Eggs
• ½ cup of water
• ½ cup of vegetable/canola/olive (what ever you have) oil
• 1 cup of chocolate chips if you choose chocolate or red velvet cake

For starters, just listen to the box mix for oven temperature. Put the first 6 ingredients in a bowl and mix on medium with an electric mixer. After that, pour the batter into your respected pan and bake for however long the cake box says.

Using these steps, your cake triples its moisture factor. They also become a lot thicker, making them GREAT bundt cakes.  I really recommend using these steps to make your cakes (or cupcakes) even tastier!
