Thanks to all with the great posts. I had been sifting for about a year now and have had great results. Did a test this weekend at cake group and only 3 others were sifting. Mixed in my KA one sifted and one not. Couldn't they could not believe the difference. We have converts to sifting. Try it you'll see the difference yourself. No large holes, slice the cake across the top and check the difference. They even said there was a difference in the taste as to the texture and flavor. Not may crumbs etc. Do the experiment your self if you are not a believer.

I find sifting cake mixes an ESSENTIAL step. Not because of the results in texture, but because I did found a piece of cardboard in a cake mix after giving sifting a try. Only God knows how many foreign objects have ended up baked into a cake

The only cake mix I found that has little bits in it, is Betty Crocker, Duncan Hines sifts clean through.
