Hello....I really do need your help. Has anyone used the Duncan Hines Red Velvet box cake mix? If so, what did you add into the mix to make it yours? I used the recipe from the Choc. Cake Lady Mix? However, I am sure it just doesn't do it for me. I really don't have time to make it from scratch....PPPPPLLLLEEEAAAASSSEEE HHHEEELLLLPPPPPP!
Thanks Kim

I haven't tried this yet, but I've heard good things about it.
When I make a red velvet cake I use the cake mix extender and it is wonderful, taste like scratch and gives you more batter, I don't think you would be disappointed at all
1 cup plain flour
1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup sour cream
Mix as directed on back of box and then add rest of ingredients and mix until well blended.
I agree with irisinbloom I use the extender recipe with every cake mix, with Red Velvet I also add one tablespoon of herseys cocoa. I just did one of these for my sister in laws birthday, I torted it and filled with vanilla pudding and whipped bettercream, it was soooo good. Good luck.
Iris and Deijha,
Hello and thanks for replying. Ok, now I have a question about the extender. Do you know how much extra the extender adds? What is it about the extender that makes it taste different? With the R/V have you all ever added pudding to the above mix or used buttermilk instead of water? Thanks again for your help. I have a R/V 1/2 sheet cake coming up. Now normally I use 3 boxes, if I use the extender how many boxes would I have to use to have enough batter......You all are the best....thanks again Kim

Kim I have never added buttermilk, pudding, or water in the above recipe I gave you, but maybe someone else has. For 1/2 sheet you could proably get by with 2 box mixes using the cake mix extender. I'm not sure what makes it taste different but it is really sooooo good, let us know how it turns out
Cindy, so is this extender recipe that you gave us above always the same for all mixes? That's a great idea for getting just a little more out of your batters; might have to try that.
(And if you do 2 red velvet cakes, are you saying use 1 recipe of extender or double it?
Thanks.
Yep you use the extender recipe for each box mix and the extender can be used for any flavor box mix
