CHOCOLATE BOX CAKE MIX HACK Nobody Knew Wasn't Homemade!!! 🤫 BEST Boxed Cake Mix Hacks

[@jeriandersen4205]

Extra tip. When you prepare your pans for a chocolate cake, use cocoa powder instead of flour. The layers won't have white edges.

Great tip! Thanks 😊🙌🏽

I’ve baked from scratch and mixes for 50 yrs and I tell people all the time there is no shame in using a boxed mix. Cooking is art but baking is science, and science calls for precision, so boxed mixes are simply ingredients that have been precisely measured for you to guarantee success.

[@traciesplace]

Yes! I totally agree!🙌🏽💗

[@StephenB-iy7pr]

I’m not ashamed to use box cakes..I don’t let people make me feel like that. Because while they might be a great baker I’m in the top of people when it comes to cooking and using spices.

Mrs Tracie, This is my first time seeing your video, and I enjoyed it! You’re so talented and pleasant to watch!!! I have a Catering business, for over 30 years, along with baking, too! I love the kitchen!!! So, pls. Invest in a small scale for about $30, or more! Having to eyeball the layers, taking it out and in to measure it, is extra work! Remember, we can work SMART, and NOT HARD! I will definitely Subcribe to your Channel, bc I loved it! ❤😄🙏🏽💯

My first time watching you 1st I want to say love your soothing voice and like that you use a spatula to get all the ingredients in and out of the measuring cups. When I doctor a cake mix I put every thing inthe bowl and mix it for a couple minutes then I ad the cake mix and only beat till just incorporated. 😊

If you take a piece of foil long enough to go around your cake pan, put a moist paper towel the same length, then fold the foil to cover the paper towel and wrap it around your cake pan before yo bake it- like a collar. Bake as usual. Your cake will be perfectly flat, & moist on the edges. No more trimming or dry edges!
