I had a few minutes to bake today- one of my very favorite hobbies. I had some leftover cake mixes from Baby B\u2019s bday party, so I scoured Pinterest for tips on how to make these boxed mixes taste homemade. There are tons of tips and tricks out there, so I took a few of my favorites. Here\u2019s how I jazzed up a normal Devil\u2019s Food Cake Mix:<\/div>\n
\n

-I added an extra egg
\n-I used melted butter rather than oil and used about 1.5x the amount of oil it called for
\n-I used whole milk instead of water
\n-I added about 1Tbsp of vanilla
\n-I sprinkled in a pinch of cinnamon<\/p>\n

I mixed it up in my mixer, and it was the fluffiest cupcake batter ever, it tasted like choclate whipped cream!<\/p>\n

I then filled my cupcake liners pretty darn full. The recipe yielded 22 cupcakes for me.<\/p>\n

I had pre-heated the oven to 350- but knocked it down to 325 once I put the cupcakes in. This creates a nice top on the cupcake, I use the same tip for muffins.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

I love how the tops just slightly and perfectly billow over the top of the liner. And these cupcakes were unbelievably light. Most of the time mine turn out pretty dense.<\/p>\n

Then to add an extra touch, I like to use a large tipped icing bag, and just used canned icing to decorate them. I like the fluffy icing best. But, one can only ices 9-10 cupcakes, so take that into consideration. I put the icing in the center of \u00a0a big sheet of plastic wrap, fold it up, and put in down into a pastry bag.<\/p>\n

Swirl it around, and for an extra touch, add some leftover candy on top. Can\u2019t hurt\u2026not a bit.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

And in just a short amount of time, you have a fool-proof way to make your boxed mix taste homemade. Yum! And even though they taste homemade- they look store bought!<\/p>\n
