- Start With a Quality Cake Mix. Since you’re going to be depending on the cake mix for the base of your cupcakes or cake, you need to start with a quality mix.
- Swap the Oil for Butter. One of the most common, simple swaps to take your mix to the next level is to substitute the vegetable oil the back of the box recipe calls for with softened or melted butter.
- Add Extra Butter. You should not only swap the oil for butter. You should also add in extra butter to make the cake mix recipe even better. Most people like to use twice as much butter as the recipe calls for oil.
- Swap the Water for Milk. Another easy way to make your mix taste amazing is to substitute the water the box mix calls for with milk. By doing so, you’re adding a little more fat and richness to the mix.

- Add More Eggs. To get an extra rich and moist cake, stir in two extra egg yolks along with the eggs the recipe calls for (save the egg whites to make these delicious meringues).
- Walk Away from Water. Water tastes like, well, water! Swap it out for another liquid, preferably something with flavor and fat. Substitute whole milk or your favorite non-dairy milk (almond and coconut milk work especially well).
- More Fat, More Flavor. Most box cake recipes call for vegetable or canola oil. The only trouble is, these oils have almost no flavor. Replace the oil with an equal amount of melted butter (and a pinch of salt if using unsalted butter), to boost richness.
- Amp Up the Chocolate. Boost the flavor of a boxed chocolate cake mix by adding hot water instead of tap. The hot water helps to "bloom" the cocoa (just like adding hot water to coffee grounds).
