What are you wanting to do with it? I doctor my spice cake to make it a bit heavier by using a recipe I found on here - the cake mix, 1/3 cup softened butter, 4 eggs, and one cup of milk. Some people add a four-serving box of instant pudding and one extra egg to make a more stable cake. Maybe a butterscotch or vanilla pudding mix for a spice cake?
Thank you!
We used the WASC but left out the almond. It seemed to do ok. Everyone liked it. I needed it to be more of a pound cake consistency for carving.
I made a coke glass with a can of coke pouring into it above. It turned out pretty good considering the short time I had to get it done. I will upload when one of the kids has time.
Thank you for answering.

when i doctor a spice cake i either make it a pumpkin spice or an apple spice cake. For a special added spice i add cin, nutmeg, and a touch of cloves to my bc.
People have also added grated carrot to spice cake, to make carrot cake. I haven't tried it yet, but I could find a recipe for you online, if you wish.
Personally, I wonder how adding bananas would work, to make a banana spice cake.
After chocolate, banana cake and carrot cake close runner-up in the My Faves department.

Tracy, that sounds good! But when you said some people add a 5th egg and small pudding to make it more stable is that a separate method than the first? Confusing enough? Sorry....
I haven't had good spice cake in years and years. It was a family favorite when my kids were little. That and cream cheese frosting. Oh yum! But I'd have to doctor a mix because alone I think alone the spice one is yucky. LOL I do think my tastes have changed over the last decade or so. Towards better quality.
Good question! I like it when you folks jump right in there with my questions!
Tracey -
Is that one cup of milk extra to the water already called for in the recipe, or is that in lieu of some of the water?
TIA -

CarolAnn - those were two different doctored recipes - one with the butter, 4 eggs, one cup milk. The other was adding an extra egg to whatever is called for on the box, plus a box of pudding mix, plus whatever else is called for on the cake mix bo.
Theresa - the one cup milk is NOT in addition to anything on the back of the cake mix box. I take the cake mix and disregard anything on the back of it. I add 1/3 cup softened butter, one cup milk, and 4 eggs to the dry mix - ignoring completely the instructions on the back of the box.
When I doctor a cake mix I add a small box of instant pudding, milk instead of the water called for, an extra egg, melted butter instead of the oil called for and flavorings of my choice(such as a teaspoon almond or vanilla extract, or other liquor). Sometimes I sub other liquids for some of the milk, like lemon juice and add a little lemon zest also. I've never done a spice cake mix but bet you could add some nutmeg, cloves and cinnamon. Maple flavoring or syrup might be nice in place of some of the milk and I would check out the instant pudding flavors and try to pick one that complimented those flavors, sometimes they have a cinnamon vanilla pudding, that would be good.
