Sifting the box mix is amazing.
To be honest, whenI first saw the idea that people sifted a cake mix, I thought, "geesh, some people have too much time on their hands!" 
But when I tried it, omg, I was convinced and hooked! The smoothest batter in the world .... very silky! Less time to run the mixer...... I was running the mixer for such a long time to get to that silky smooth stage, but with sifting, you really just run the mixer long enough to get all the dry ingredients wet.
ANd the texture ..... Euphoria!!!! The most beautiful cake texture I've ever seen!!
Can you tell I am just hooked on this technique!!???
I only sift once.
Me too. Any big lumps left, I push thru the wire screen. Otherwise, I dump em in the trash.
Give it a try .... you will be SO amazed.
LEt me add that this was the suggestion that made me adopt the attitude of "If a CC'er suggests it, then we have to give it a try." 
Yeppers! Sifting does make an amazing difference. 
Also, if you are doing the extender or the WASC, I have found that using cake flour really gives a tight pretty texture to the cake. 
Happy Baking!
