One of my acquaintances, Grace shared with me the trick of adding the dream whip and pudding to the cake mixes. She bakes cakes on the side, and she told me she does it with all of her cakes, and it make them more moist, dense and takes that "boxed" taste away. And it makes it so much better than just a boxed mix made per the directions on the box.
So when I choose to use a boxed cake mixed, I prepare it in the above manner. I makes a HUGE difference, try it and you will see!
Enjoy,
