Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box Boxed cake mix (any flavor)
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven according to the temperature listed on the boxed cake mix instructions, typically 350°F (175°C).
Grease and flour the baking pan(s) you will be using or line them with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the boxed cake mix, all-purpose flour, and granulated sugar. Whisk together to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Add the sour cream, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed, beat the mixture until smooth and well blended, about 2–3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan(s), spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for the time listed on the boxed cake mix instructions, plus an additional 5–10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake(s) from the oven and let cool in the pan(s) for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting or serving.
