I'm new to Cake Central and have seen Meringue Powder mentioned in various threads. Some have mentioned it adds "height" to their cakes. Can this be added to a boxed cake mix, does it alter the taste, texture or color of the cake? Does it really work and how much to add per box mix? I'm very curious! 
Hmm, Ive never heard of this. I do notice that when I use the powder in my royal icing it adds a "flavor" to it I dont know exactly how to describe. But because the flavor IS so noticable (at least to me...) it seems like it would add taste to the cake.
Somebody else answer - Im curious too
I have only used meringue powder with a box mix to replace egg whites when I was short an egg and didn't have time to go to the store. I always use it in my buttercream and royal icing so I don't know about a difference in taste. I am pretty sure it has a slightly sweet taste, but I don't think it would alter the taste in a cake mix unless there is a lot of it in the mix. You probably would only use about a tablespoon in a mix I would think.
I use about 1 TBS Meringue Powder to my cake mixes. One of my Wilton Instructors told us about this and I've done it since then. I does add just a bit of heigt to it and it does not change the taste of it (it is a bit sweet, but mixed in with everything else, you can't tell it). I also use it in my buttercream icing to stablize it and help it to crust.
