What Can be Added to Box Cake Mix?

Texture of the Cake

As you scroll through our box cake mix recipes, you'll notice several different ingredients that act to give the cake mix a slightly denser, more "from-scratch" texture.

These differ from recipe to recipe, but here are a few examples:

  • Adding Sour Cream or softened Cream Cheese to the Cake Mix
  • Adding a Box of instant Pudding to the mix
  • Adding an additional egg than what the back of the box calls for

Other Add-ins for Box Cake Mixes

In addition to the ingredients listed above, other add-ins can dramatically change the flavor of the box mix as well as the resulting amount of batter.

Flour and Sugar are often added in our Doctored Box Cake Mix recipes to extend the batter even further- most of our doctored cake mix recipes make three 8 inch cake layers (or about 28 cupcakes).

We've also added pureed fruit, fruit juice, extracts, coconut, chocolate chips, sliced fruit, zest, and so on. Some of our most popular examples of this are our Easy Strawberry Cake Mix Recipe, Italian Cream Bundt Cake, and Easy Carrot Cake Recipe, but there are so many more!

Once you fine a "base" doctored cake mix recipe that you love, you can change it a hundred different ways with extracts and add-ins to make something truly unique and delicious.
