Ingredients

• 1 box cake mix (I prefer Betty Crocker) *see notes at end
• 1 cup flour*
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• generous dash of salt
• 1 cup sour cream*
• 1 cup water *
• 3 whole eggs
• 1 tablespoon flavoring*

Preparation

Step 1

In bowl mix together dry ingredients. It�s helpful to use a wire whisk; important w/choco cake not so much for other flavors. In mixer bowl place next 4 ingredients. Add about 1/2 of the dry ingredients and blend together, then add the rest of the dry ingredients & blend. Mix for 2 minutes.

Pour into prepared pans * and bake as usual.

You can use milk, juice, thawed fzn concentrates, soda pop (ie: Coke) cream or just about anything wet for the liquid.

This recipe is based on mixing in a kitchenaid mixer. I use position #1 to stir it, then #4 to mix the batter.

On rare occasions I have used other brands of mix.

This makes the amount of batter as if you used 1 1/2 mixes and is perfect for a 10″ sq OR 9x13 OR one 8″ & two 6″ round;OR two 8″rounds OR a 12″ round; and other combinations of pans.

I prefer to bake at 300 degrees for about 20-30 minutes (depending on size of cake) then turn oven up to 325 for about an equal time. If cake has pulled away from sides it is overbaked. After cooling, the top might be a bit sticky.

Some people have told me they use plain or flavored yogurt instead of sour cream.
