Hello to All!
I saw this tip on the website called Tip-Nut and tried it the other day because
I'd noticed that the boxed cake mixes I make often seem small for my 9x13 pan. I
know my pan hasn't shrunk, (LOL!) so it must be that the cake mixes have less in
the boxes.
The tip is how to make a Bigger Cake from Mixes and this is how to do it:
Add:
1/2 Cup flour
1/2 Cup sugar
1 additional egg
1 tsp. baking powder
(optional) 1/4 Cup oil
I made a carrot cake adding the ingredients listed above along with some
raisins, nuts, dash of allspice, and 1/2 tsp. cinnamon. I frosted it with a can
of cream cheese frosting and we had a delicious, big 9x13 cake! I did not add
the additional oil and my cake was moist enough because of the raisins I think.
Of course, you could always add some applesauce instead of oil.
