The simplest way to make box cake moist is to add a little extra moisture to the mix. By using buttermilk or yogurt in place of some of the liquid, or even tossing in an extra egg or two, you’re ensuring that your cake turns out tender, soft, and deliciously moist.
- Add an Extra Egg. If you only use one tip from this story, this one should be it. Most cake mixes call for two to three eggs. Just one more egg will add extra moisture, fat, and a little protein, which means the cake will be softer and less likely to overbake and dry out in the oven.
- Add Milk, Coffee, or Soda. Boxed cakes often call for water, but swapping it out for equal amounts of milk, coffee, or even soda will give you a moister, more tender, and flavorful cake.
- Use Butter Instead of Oil. My favorite swap and also the easiest: add melted butter instead of canola or vegetable oil, which most boxed cake mixes call for.
- Add Instant Pudding. Whisk one small (3.4-ounce) package of instant pudding into the dry cake mix. You’ll want a similar pudding flavor. For example, use chocolate pudding for a chocolate cake mix.

- Even Better, Use Buttermilk
- Use Melted Butter Instead of Oil
- Add An Extra Egg
- Add Extracts Or Spices

- Add Yogurt Or Sour Cream
- Add Mix-Ins
- Coat It with Simple Syrup
- Top with Homemade Frosting
Using milk instead of water in a boxed cake mix is a quick and easy swap that has several advantages: 1. Better flavor: Milk adds richness and creaminess to the cake batter, resulting in a more flavorful cake 2. More moisture:The fat content in milk provides a more moist and tender cake. Who doesn't want that? A dry cake is the worst! 3. Improved s...
Buttermilk is one of those ingredients that almost always improves the quality and results of a recipe when you use it over regular milk for quite a few reasons: 1. Adds depth of flavor:Buttermilk's signature tangy flavor can add a more complex flavor profile to baked goods, including cakes 2. Makes the cake more tender:The acidic nature of butterm...
Melted butter enhances the flavor and provides a more creamy, rich mouthfeel to most cake recipes. Because it has a higher fat content than oil, it adds much-desired moisture and structure to cakes. However… there are definitely cake recipes where using extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is actually the winner. My lemon almond flour cakeis a prime examp...
Even just adding one extra egg to your cake batter can improve the texture and structure of your cake! Since eggs act as a binding agent, it's providing a little extra help to hold everything together, as well as adding moisture and a richer overall flavor.
Sometimes adding a little extract to a box cake mix can make all the difference! Especially if you use it to enhance the flavor profile of an already existing set of ingredients. If you're making a vanilla cake from a white box cake mix and you add pure vanilla extract? That's an immediate flavor (and aroma!) upgrade. It can also help mask that art...
It took me a long time to get on board with this one, but it really is a pretty great hack. There's a reason you see some boxed cake mixes advertising that they include pudding right there on the front of the box! Dry instant pudding mix (not premade, creamy pudding) contains ingredients that add moisture and flavor to the resulting cake. Since the...
Yogurt or sour cream will obviously provide additional moisture to the cake, but the tangy flavor will also add more depth of flavor to the cake. You could even add mayonnaise like I do for my favorite double chocolate layer cakethat starts with a boxed chocolate cake mix!
To be honest, I don't need a reason to add mix-ins to my cakes – I'm just probably going to do it regardless, haha! Mix-ins can be anything like chocolate chips, nuts, candy pieces, chopped fruit, or fudge swirls. They add flavor and visual interest to the cake, and can also provide a delightful texture contract. Plus it gives you an excuse to add ...
I actually use this tip for cakes made from scratch, too. It's a great hack to add moisture back to a cake that came out too dry, or that is lacking flavor or sweetness that you're looking for. Using a pastry brush or basting brush to add a thin layer of simple syrupto the top of each cake layer will make the cake more moist, softer, and can actual...
Even if you're not able to implement any of these other tips, adding homemade frosting will make a huge difference! The canned frosting just can't compare to the flavor and textures you can get with homemade frostings. Try my not-too-sweet homemade cream cheese frosting recipe, easy chocolate frosting, vibrant blackberry buttercream frosting, stabi...
A boxed cake mix is inexpensive and convenient, but it can sometimes produce a dry-tasting cake. By following a few basic baking tips and adding some unusual ingredients, you can turn a box mix into a cake that is comparable in taste to homemade.
- Bye Bye Water. Most box cake mix recipes have water. Water just won’t do if you want a nice rich cake. So ditch the water and replace it with whole milk (be sure to check out the differences in milk and buttermilk in cake).
- Coffee in Cake? If you are making a chocolate box cake, you should definitely replace the water with coffee. Adding coffee to the cake will enhance the chocolate flavor and make the cake taste even more luxurious.
- More Eggs! Most box cake mixes ask for one or two eggs to be added but what if you put in just one more? What would happen? Magic, that’s what. Adding an additional egg will make your cake more moist and dense in a great way.
- Zesty. Sometimes, just one tiny extra ingredient can make the world of difference when baking. In this case, I’m talking about adding lemon zest to your box mix cake.
