Can I Mix Regular Cake Mix And Pound Cake Mix?

For my first wedding cake next week, the bride wants a cake that is 'pound cake like'--I think she means just a dense, not airy cake, but I thought I'd make a test one this weekend (I have a large neighborhood party tomorrow, so I can use it!)
My question is, if I want to try to mix a regular boxed cake mix with a pound cake one, how would you do it? Would you do 50:50 or 1:2 (pound cake: regular)? Will they mix?
One of the top decorators has a recipe where he uses pound cake + yellow cake. He uses the directions on the back of the box but just combines them in to the same bowl and mixes it all together. I haven't tried it myself.
it's a 1:1 ratio, just follow the directon on the box bake at 350, but i would use milk instead of water.
Thank you both! I actually mixed before I saw any replies!!! I mixed 2 boxes of regular white cake mix, per their directions. Then, in a separate bowl, I mixed 1 box of pound cake mix, per it's directions.
After both were mixed, then I added them together on law speed (so I wouldn't add too much more air). I actually had enough left over for 2 large cupcakes for me to sample!!!
I will update on how it turns out. ![]()
That's 'what' I do for all my cakes. Great taste and a sturdy cake.
