I'm trying to find something on this but no luck yet....I have the cake mix in the bowl as we speak and am wondering if I should use milk instead of water...yes or no?

Hmm... Do you use the same amount of milk as you would water?

Yes, i've replaced the water with loads of different liquids so milk should be fine

I do it all the time. I think it makes your cake more sturdy than water. Just use the same amount that box directions call for water.

I do this all the time to. It makes the cake taste so much better. I also think it gives the cake a more butter cake type texture.

I went ahead and did it...they are now in the oven.

oh and I just made the Duncan Hines spice cake....using the recipe that adds pudding (I used French Vanilla) and sour cream, and if the cake turns out as good as the batter did.....it's going to be soooo good lol. had to add that in here =)

I'm just curious; so if you put heavy cream instead of water, would that make it a very dense cake? Like pound cake?
