@@jesuschild2218 Yaay! Am so glad you nailed it as well. Thanks for sharing 🥰
I just found your channel and I love it. U are an awesome cook and if u had a restaurant I would eat there every day ❤ 💙 💜
I don't know which one I enjoyed more?? Your voice or the learning how to bake the French perfectly moist cake🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️I can listen to you talk all day long👌
Olga
👍
Okay so keep the video on repeat and listen to it all day.
I so agree Didi Uncut....her voice is soothing!!
I agree
And one of the best tips that my dear grandmother taught me that really works! Is to let your eggs sit out on the counter for a few minutes before mixing up the batter. It makes the cake rise up higher family! 👍🏽🥰
That’s true about using room-temperature eggs when baking.
So TRUEEEEEEE. Mine are sitting out right now...
Hi, Queen. I made your cake today (11/20/2022) and I must say that it is everything you said it would be--rich, creamy, delicious. My family loved it! The only problem was it went too quickly! Thanx for those tips because they worked perfectly. I will never make a box cake following the box directions ever again!! I would recommend any bakers in the comments to make this cake if you haven't already. It's absolutely delicious!!
This was the best cake I've made in ages. My husband and I just finished eating this cake recipe, I made this afternoon and it's a BIG WOW.😮... my difference was I only had a white cake mix and box of banana pudding mix. I picked up buttermilk with my groceries today. I even had 4 oz of cream cheese and I softened and added 1 cup of confectioners sugar, 1/4 tsp vanilla flavoring, 1 Tablespoon of milk. Then I poured over my Bundt cake, to drizzle down the side. Now my husband really isn't a cake fan, but boy the comments he gave and raved over how soft and moist this cake is. He really wanted to get another piece, but I had to hurry and put the cake away.
Dear Sister......I'll rave over this recipe forever. And I love to bake. I can only imagine what combination I will use for Christmas....May you be blessed.
Her 5 TIPS:
1) EGGS: Use 4 eggs instead of 3 eggs
2) VEGETABLE OIL: Replace the vegetable oil with butter; use 2/3 c melted, unsalted butter
3) WATER: Ditch the water; use 1 cup of buttermilk
4) PUDDING MIX: add 1 pack of Jello Pudding Mix; use flavors that compliment each other
5) VANILLA: use pure vanilla; 1 teaspoon of vanilla (or 1/2 t vanilla and 1/2 t lemon)
Bake 350 degrees
36 minutes or until toothpick is inserted and clean
Going to try this 🌹🌹🌹🌹thank you
Thank you for typing out the recipe. I used half milk and half sour cream. The hacks in this video are very helpful! Tasted so much like homemade!
@@denagustafson6070 Thanks for the sour cream tip. Going to try this recipe for sure and will do the milk and sour cream hack, sounds like a good hack especially if you don't have buttermilk only whole milk.
By the time you go
Through all of that, you could make the whole cake from scratch.
@@Proverbspsalms 🤗
Thank you so much for doing this video! My grandmother and I used to make box cakes just this way. She died in 2009 and it’s been hard for me to bake without her because it feels sad. Watching this made me want to make a cake and celebrate all the other times I made box cakes this way with my grandmother. Thank you so much! I love the way you describe what you’re doing. I am blind and I appreciate it when people actually describe everything they do not just part of what they do. Love, Pam
Thank you so much Ms Pam. This warms my heart honestly. I appreciate your time and feedback, have fun baking!
I'm really sorry about your Mom passing and I feel the same as you when I make one of my Mom's recipes. She passed away unexpectedly five years ago coming back from a routine doctor's appointment, she had turned 80 a few weeks earlier. My life was changed forever in so many ways. My blessings to you and your loved ones and great health and happiness in the horizon 💝👐🌈
Embrace what she taught you and use it for good...Im the polar opposite when I start missing my nana I get in the kitchen and whip up some of her famous dishes And share them with friends and family...My uncles be so happy...Its a wonderful way to honor her memory...Hope this help💗💗💗💗💗

*What is the Gospel?*
The true gospel is the good news that God saves sinners. Man is by nature sinful and separated from God with no hope of remedying that situation. But God, by His power, provided the means of man’s redemption in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Savior, Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 2:8-9
For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of GOD, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
Romans 10:9
9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
JESUS CHRIST can come anytime!
Just Believe ❤️ Love you and GOD BLESS
Good for you. GOD bless 🙏🏾 I bake with my granddaughter 😊💞
I'm a scratch cook, but EVERYONE needs a quick cake sometimes! 🙂 I've tried the mayo thing (too greasy) and the sour cream thing (too tangy), but THIS is the way to do it. And the older I get, the less my sweet tooth wants icing, so it's wonderful to be able to have a quick, moist, delicious cake good enough to stand alone. Thanks!! (and as a former software and sewing teacher, absolutely love your presentation style)
I made this cake yesterday! Lady, if I tell you this is THE BEST Cake I’ve ever had! Omg! Thank you so much, I’m going to get me another piece 🤤😃😋

@@tama3442 Why you always gotta bring up 'hell' when we are here trying to enjoy some cake? Please people, have some respect.
@Libby Hicks it’s just a bot. religious types of comments that look like this don’t acknowledge what video they’re on; they just spam everywhere they can
@@libbyhicks7549 Because if you wind up in Hell there will be NO CAKE there!!!
If you're a "crust girl", instead if buttering and flouring the pan, butter then sprinkle pan with SUGAR. Comes out crispy. Works well on banana, zucchini, etc breads too. When I made this, topped it with warmed blueberry preserves. Goes good with lemon.
Cathy!!!!!💕💕💕💕💕
major plot twist🥰🥰🥰
Yes. I thought about using powered Suger instead of flour😌
Sounds Amazing for Sure Ms Cathy
Oh you just did something here!!!!!
I think that a lemon glaze drizzled on top would make it even better! It looks delicious 🤤 😋 !
Girl you are a Queen! If I had read a recipe that added all the things you put into that box cake i would have said that won't work. Well I would be wrong because that cake was mouth watering to look at. I am definitely going to check out more of your videos.
I have made box cakes all my life just the way they told me to. I'm 66 and not too old to learn something new. God bless you.
Glad I found this channel! Who’s ready to try this besides me
Oh my gosh Mansa Queen, 🥰 thank you for upping my game again with these tips! That looks SO good! Have a wonderful rest of the week!
That cake looks stunningly beautiful. Will definitely try this. Love your enthusiasm and clear instructions. 👏🏼
Wow!! This is the absolute best step by step straight up to the point video! Thank you soo much! ❤️❤️
Perfect. What wonderful set up tips. Upping my game!
What a brilliant idea for boxed cakes! Your voice is so lovely and that cake looks so delicious! Definitely subscribing now!
Other than the pudding mix, which I've never tried, I can recommend all these tricks! Extra eggs, butter, vanilla, milk . . . Totally works, every single time. 👍
So happy I found your videos! My cakes taste amazing now! Thank you!
Since I had tried your cornbread recipe, I decided to also try your French vanilla cake recipe. Wow, I can testify that there are huge differences from the box instructions versus yours. May the LORD Jesus bless you for sharing these excellent tips.(Numbers 6:24-26)
Thank You For getting me ready for the Holidays Baking!! You made hope come alive again with my baking!!! 🙏💝🤗
Great recipe!I love using Duncan Hines cake mix.
Thank you for taking the time to share this hack I absolutely love pound cake and I will be trying this out today
That cake looks divine!! I'm going to bake it today. love your step by step instructions. thank you ⚘
Love the way you explain everything, you are easy to follow. Thanks 💝
Thank you! Something that makes life easier is just right for me. Can't wait to try !
I thoroughly enjoyed your video, especially when you gave your sneaky giggle. The cake is beautiful!
I always like to put a special touch and make recipes "semi-homemade" but when I tried this one... well this definitely turned into Jesus cake. I only swapped the suggested buttermilk to heavy cream cause it was all I had and worked wonders. So spongy and moist. This is a must keep recipe/hack. 💯 😋 Blessings!

Def will try the HWC the first go around as well. Thanks for the tip.
If you don’t have buttermilk, put a teaspoon of vinegar or lemon juice in milk and it will sour it…aka buttermilk.
My my my, I'm so glad I was able to watch you make this french vanilla box cake. I followed your instructions and
I'm so impressed. My wife hardly ever eats cake, but she loved it and so did the rest of the family, because it did not last .it was gone before I got seconds.
Thank you. ❤
I love this example and your voice is soooo soothing love to listen
Beautiful! I'm with you, changing the ingredients just a bit like this makes all the difference in the world. It's my first time on your channel and I immediately subscribed. Looking forward to seeing your other ideas.
Your cake looked beautiful. I can taste it already. Thank you for showing me this recipe.
Mansa you are the gift as well as the giving at Thanksgiving.
No longer will I worry about the desert this Thanksgiving. You have inspired me to make two (2) cakes!
You know what.. you rock! Thanks for putting this out, I just tried it, it was over the moon better than what I was doing before.. so grateful 🙏
That cake is beautiful! Can't wait to try it! My mouth is watering!
This cake looks awesome! I’m making it as soon as I get a cake mix! Thank You! 🥰
You're a very good teacher. I've never baked a cake in my life but I think I will try. Thank you!
Thank you Mansa Queen, I followed your instructions and it turned out sooooo moist and delicious!
This is my first time and I absolutely love your channel!! Thank you.
Thank you I’m making this cake today , I knew it was a way to make a box cake taste like it was made from scratch I love a good moist cake. Thanks again you made it look so easy !!!
I made this cake today and my family "Loved" it. Nice ,and moist! Thank you for this recipe!
I can't wait to try. Looks delicious! Thank you!
Your recipe is awesome! Your video is so refreshing to watch. Great lighting, clear instructions, will definitely be subscribing for more recipes!
I made this and I must say it was the best cake I’ve ever made!! Didn’t even taste like a box cake thank you so much ❣️
Your cake looks deeeelicious!!! Now I can finally make it right. Thank you so much for your recipe!😁❣️
I tried this today and I have to say that this recipe made the absolute best boxed cake I’ve ever had in my life. It was that good. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks. Your passion is appreciated.
This cake looks delicious for sure definitely going to bake this one no. Great sharing 👏
Thanks for the tips. Sometimes I’m just too tired to make a cake from scratch but I still want that taste. I’ve used Duncan Hines brand several times but sometimes I can tell the difference. The cake comes out delicious but I can tell just a little bit that it’s not from scratch. But with these tips I believe I can change that. The cake looks wonderful.
You are indeed a queen!! I’m going to try it right now. Thank you so much!!💕
Thanks for these wonderful tips, my box butter pecan cake was amazingly delicious and moist. This will be my new way of cake baking!
Mansa Queen, Your presentation and lovely voice was just perfect. I loved the tips. A lot of my Betty Crocker baking recipes have cross outs where I made substitutions. That pudding mix is a trick my Navy buddy showed me years ago he used for his box chocolate cake. I can tell when squeezed your cake how moist it came out. I am going to try this one and share it my friends. Thank you 😊
YAS SIS! I be doctoring up a cake mix in a minute! And if you do it right, ppl really can't tell that its from a box. Sometimes we don't have that time with our busy lives. Actually you are right about the bakery thing. quite a few of them use a high quality box mix to get consistant results. The key is that folks better not doctor up that box cake and then add a box frosting 😭 that would be tragic haha
You know that box frosting is annoying especially on a box cake 😂. My thick is to use a homemade frosting too. Thanks for watching sissy 🥰
Even if I use a box cake mix without enhancing it, I still use homemade frosting ... usually buttercream!
My Mom used to use the term “ doctoring” all the time. Brought back good memories. Thank You
Definitely Going To Try This! Thank You So Much!
Thank you Mansa for easy cake mix today I love it will try .
I know this video is old, but I have to say thank you!
You had me in stitches at the beginning and end of this video when you said, "Don't tell anybody!" Then you invited us to take some. I thought that was the bomb!!!!!
🤣🤣 thank you so much
I've made something similar, but never thought of swapping the water for buttermilk. Great idea! Can't wait to try that. Thank you for sharing your upcycled box cake recipe!
I made this for Father's Day this year, and followed this exact recipe. It was INCREDIBLE!!!
This looks delicious! Can't wait to make it! TFS!!!
I’ve been using these tricks for a while and it definitely makes a huge difference!!
Absolutely beautiful!
Wonderful! Thanks for this recipe.
I can't wait to make this cake. I love the Queen. She's a fabulous teacher..
So simple and yet it looks SO amazing! :)
Omg. I'm loving your videos. This cake looks amazing. Yummy!
Ooooh WOW! This cake looks SO GOOD. I’m going to the store today to purchase all the ingredients!💃🏽 Thank you very much!😃
Great addition to the box cake.I will definitely try it

I love the texture of the cake !! Looks so yummy
Girl! Thank you! That is a beautiful cake, moist and good! 💕
👍
Perfect recipe!!!!I I made it as instructed and my cake was the BOMB!
Thank you I thought I had lost my touch. they have totally changed the way the ingredients from back in the day, when I first started making cakes, for my dad and granddad. I have also, begun adding different ingredients to bump up my cake as well. I’m definitely, going to follow your recipe. The more they charge, the less they ingredients they put in the box. I believe your recipe will be a success.
Love, love love this recipe!! Perfect every time! Your videos are well paced, filled with the right info, tips and tricks! Keep the videos coming! 👏🏼

Very true.The truth shall set you free.
I have used the baking hacks you shared when making a red velvet cake (for Christmas) and everyone raved about the cake asking if I made it from scratch. Well, yes I did! The hacks make a huge difference in a cake mix! Thanks!
@ B. Bell it would have been full scratch if you had only used sugar and flour:-). It also would not have had all those extra chemicals. Having said that, I'm still going to try this cake in just a few minutes😂. Looks yummy🎂
Beautiful ❤️ thanks for the awesom cake tip
Enjoyed your french vanilla pound cake video! I use the perfectly moist alot. But you have made recipe PERFECT pound cake! Thank you
Thank you thank you. I just made this cake following your recipe. Let me just say OMG this is the best most moist cake I've ever made or tasted. I can't get over it. Again thank you. I will be trying to make your other bake goods.
No buttermilk? Simply add a little vinegar or lemon juice (acidity) to curdle milk = buttermilk
Looks amazing!
Just tried it and came out perfect and so good. Thanks for sharing.
You explain everything so well,I love hearing you speak heheh,thank you so very much for sharing your baking secrets with us. I will definitely be trying this! God bless you and have a beautiful holiday season!🤗💕🙏🏼
Oh my goodness I can imagine how super delicious and yummy this cake will be. I love how you explained everything you really did well sis the cake colour is so enticing and looks super moist ❤️🎂😋🍰
Have to do it
I love this! We are often shamed for not baking from scratch but sometimes life is just too much and we need a short cut but not from flavor! I bought a cookbook that is just about boxed cake mix recipes. None of those recipes look as yummy as this!!
