Doctoring a Cake Mix
I don’t know what my problem is, but every time I try to make a cake from scratch, I end up with something that either crumbles to pieces when it’s cut, or something that could double as a doorstop.
My mom introduced me to the idea of doctoring cake mixes to make them more dense and flavorful. I’ve tried a number of different methods, and the method below yields a moist cake that is dense enough to form a good base for decorating. It’s also pretty rich, and in my opinion, tastes better than the bakery! This is the technique I used for my wedding cake. I varied the pudding and cake mix flavors to end up with a coconut cream layer, a french vanilla layer, and a chocolate fudge layer.
