I see a lot of people talking about cake extender. What is it? Does it make it more dense, more mix, etc.
Thanks!
Here is a recipe you can find at this link on the site: http://cakecentral.com/cake_recipe-1977-23-Cake-Mix-extender.html
Cake Mix extender
Serves/Yields: 3 x 9" cakes
Prep. Time:
Cook Time:
Category: Cake Mix Cakes
Difficulty: Easy
I've used this for any cake flavour. The result is a terrific , moist and dense cake that is easy to frost and decorate. Tastes like scratch cakes. I get rave reviews everytime I make a cake. I've used it for other 18" or slab cake pans. All I do is make 2 mixes instead of the one. I make each mix individually and then stir them together in a large bowl prior to pouring in the pan.
Prepare cake mix as per package directions. In addition to this add,
1 egg
1 cup flour
250 ml (or 8 oz.) sour cream or yogurt (I prefer to use low fat yogurt)
1 cup white sugar
1/3 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla or other suited flavouring
Bake as per pkg. directions
Nutrition Information
Fat content will vary depending on whether or not you use full fat sour cream or yogurt. I've used them all including low fat sour cream, yogurt etc.... and the results are great each and every time.

if I were to use the yogurt recipe, can I use flavored yogurt to give it a little bit of flavor, or have you ever done that?

I haven't used the recipe. I would think it wouldn't hurt to use a lemon yogurt if you were using a lemon mix, or such. It might help enhance the flavor. But I'm not sure lemon yogurt with a white or yellow mix would be enough to 'flavor' the whole cake.
Yeah, this cake extender recipe rocks....it makes them taste like scratch cakes for sure. People have thought my cakes were some store bought gourmet cake 
I have only used vanilla and plain....none of the flavored ones...but I would if I were doing say a strawberry or cherry or something....why not? I think it would be great.
I'm confused about this recipe.
Do you make two mixes with all the ingredients, put them together in a bowl and then add the other ingredients (sour cream etc.) , or do you double the other ingredients since you are making two mixes?
Thanks!
