    Good ideas! Here's mine: instead of spending money on a jar of powdered espresso, use brewed (and cooled) coffee in place of the water. I use it for cakes and brownie mixes with good success.

    @cpp1390 Před 3 měsíci +6

    Also a good idea for the 1 cup of water: make sure its hot water and that it's the very last thing you put in before the mix (so you can put in the ovven asap) the hot water actually gives a super moist crumb and a fluffier result.

    If I make a box cake mix I always massage the flour mix a good bit before opening it up to break up any clumps of flour. That way I don't need to sift it and it reduces the time needed to stir it and potentially over-develop the gluten.
    Plus, if you're nice to your cake, your cake will be nice to you!

    I normally always bake from scratch but I kid you not, a day after this video was posted I had to use a box mix because I was in a huge rush to make a birthday cake before we went to my grandad’s for his birthday. I used these tips and it tasted practically like my homemade cake. Obviously it wasn’t the exact same as a cake made from scratch but it tasted similar enough that nobody even noticed. My mum was so shocked when I told her it was actually a box mix. Thank you Johnnie for saving my grandad’s 83rd birthday!

    So I’m gonna try this way for my next chocolate batch. I usually do 1-box mix, 1-cup flour, 1-cup sugar, 1 cup whole milk, 1 cup sour cream, and 3 eggs. 1 tbs. Vanilla for vanilla or 1 tbs. Espresso for chocolate. The vanilla ones are the tits, but I find the chocolate one is a little dry. I’m more in to vanilla cake with a fudge frosting personally, but I would love a doctored box chocolate mix recipe that I actually like.
