Ingredients
- 1 box Boxed cake mix (any flavor)
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven according to the temperature listed on the boxed cake mix instructions, typically 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Grease and flour the baking pan(s) you will be using or line them with parchment paper.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the boxed cake mix, all-purpose flour, and granulated sugar. Whisk together to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Step 4
Add the sour cream, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed, beat the mixture until smooth and well blended, about 2–3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared pan(s), spreading it evenly.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for the time listed on the boxed cake mix instructions, plus an additional 5–10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 7
Remove the cake(s) from the oven and let cool in the pan(s) for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting or serving.
