Tricky in the Kitchen: Take 1

~ Elevate the Humble Cake Mix ~


1) Mayo in the Mix: Add 1 heaping tablespoon of full-fat Mayo. 
I know it sounds weird... but mayo is really just "emulsified oil". 
Think of it as a rocket booster to the oil or butter already in the recipe. 

2) Vanilla makes everything better!
Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the mix. 
When aded to almost any cake mix vanilla adds a little "extra"...
whether white, yellow, strawberry or chocolate...
vanilla can add another layer to the flavor. 

3) Beat the Buzzer! Do NOT overcook the cake! 
A cake will continue to cook for a few minutes once it is removed from the oven... so take it out just a minute or two before it is really "done" so that not one drop of extra moisture is lost.

One bite... and you'll thank me!!
