Really Easy Homemade Cake
My mother has never made a “box” cake in her life. When I was growing up in the rural South, every cake was homemade. I’m willing to put in the extra time to make a cake from scratch, but here’s my problem. You can’t beat the moistness of a cake mix. So, I want the flavor of a homemade cake with the moistness of the box cake. I’ve finally discovered how to do it.
I wish I could take credit for this, but I can’t. I read it in the local newspaper several years ago and was intrigued. Try it; it really does taste great!
Homemade Cake with a Mix
1 yellow cake mix
All the ingredients listed on the box
2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1 stick butter or margarine
1 cup water
4 eggs
Put the cake together using the ingredients on the box. Then add in the extra ingredients. (You’ll have about seven eggs!) Bake your cake according to the directions on the box. Cool the layers for about 15 minutes, then release from pans. When completely cooled, frost with your favorite icing.
This is just about the best cake I’ve ever eaten. You can’t exactly file it under “quick,” but it’s certainly easy. And truly delicious!
