I tried the DH french vanilla and although I like it, its not really what I was looking for. For those of you that have tried the DH Butter Recipe Golden Cake and the DH Classic Yellow Cake, can you tell me what are the differences between the two and which you prefer?

when need smaller quantity -- I weigh it out to get same ratio.

I can never get DH butter to bake right for me at all. It is a thicker batter and does not rise as high as the yellow.

The french vanilla is not too bad. My vanilla cake is:

1 box of DH white cake mix
1 small box of instant vanilla pudding
4 eggs
1/2 cup oil
1 tsp vanilla


Now for all my cakes (DH is my preferred brand), I add the following to the box:

1 small box of instant vanilla pudding (use a flavor that compliments your cake)
Up the eggs to 4 from 3
Up the oil from 1/3 cup to 1/2 cup.

I do the same as well for my vanilla cakes. I don't use the butter cake mix though as I don't like the strong butter taste

Bake as you normally would on the box; however, I like to bake at 325 for all my cakes. It takes a bit longer.

I love the golden butter recipe. I only use it when I need a 'yellow' cake. I make it as is, with no adjustments.

I do have problems with this mix in my 8x3 in tall pan, but part of that is because it makes more batter than the pan needs.

I love the DH Butter Recipe, I also use it when I have an order for a yellow cake. I think the taste is very moist and it holds for several days! I do use the DH Yellow for my banana pudding cake and it comes out great!

the butter recipe uses butter and the regular yellow oil. I think the butter one is more thicker and the taste to me is more richer.

I was wondering too...I use this recipe and i use 1 c water or liquid, usually. Sometimes I cut it back to 1/2, if I want a more dense cake.
