Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup cake flour (All purpose will work too)
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp baking powder
1 egg
1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • Make your cake mix per instructions on box and add to it all ingredients. Using all flour works just fine in chocolate cakes, in fact, we love the extender in devil's food cake. We think it makes it taste even better.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cake mix. Regular white or yellow cake mix works best for most recipes, but you can also use chocolate or spice cake mix if you prefer.
  • Follow the recipe instructions carefully. Each recipe will have specific instructions on how to prepare and bake the extended cake batter. Be sure to follow these instructions carefully to ensure that your cake turns out perfectly.
  • Use fresh ingredients. The fresher your ingredients, the better your cake will taste. Use fresh eggs, milk, and butter whenever possible.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Mix the batter only until it is well combined.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Cool the cake completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Cake mix extenders are a great way to save money and make your favorite cake recipes go further. With a few simple ingredients, you can easily double or even triple the size of your cake mix. This is perfect for large gatherings or parties. Plus, extended cakes are just as delicious as cakes made from scratch. So next time you're making a cake, don't be afraid to use a cake mix extender.
