Too moist? DIdn't know there was such a thing! icon_wink.gif

What kind of problems are you having? Icing not sticking? Crumbly?

I'm a Betty Crocker baker, so I am one that uses mixes all the time.

Are they baked all the way thru?
Do you cool them on a cooling rack so the steam can escape or do you cool them in the pan or on a cookie sheet, so the steam has nowhere to go but back inside the cake?
This may be overly obvious, but you are measuring the liquid properly, right?
