COPYCAT DUNCAN HINES BOXED CAKE MIX
This cake tastes like a boxed white cake mix only better, it has never failed me yet, it is a recipe that I use over and over again for the *perfect* white cake, and so easy to make too! really anything can be addded to this cake, tiny chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruit, add in some food colouring for a pastel coloured cake with matching frosting, this makes a wonderful birthday cake!--------- * NOTE* as one reviewer stated they omitted the salt, omitting the salt will change the texture of this cake completely, so please do *not* omit, using butter-flavor Crisco is acceptable but will alter the taste somewhat but not the texture ;-)

- Pour batter into pans and bake 30-33 minutes for the 9" pans and 35-38 minutes for the 9x13" pan.If you wish to make cupcakes, bake for 19-22 minutes.

Tips:
- For a richer, more flavorful cake, use melted butter instead of oil.
- Add an extra egg for a moister cake.
- For a fluffier cake, beat the egg whites separately and fold them into the batter at the end.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this will make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven to ensure even cooking.
- For cupcakes or muffins, fill the liners only 2/3 full to prevent overflow.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting.
