Want to know how to bake a moist delicious cake without baking from scratch???

I'll bet you do!!! And I'll be happy to share how easy it really is!


To doctor a cake mix so that you can create your own moist, melt in your mouth, delicious confection, all you need is...

1 cake mix (flavor of your choice)
1 package of pudding (If using chocolate cake, use chocolate. If using yellow cake, use vanilla)
1 cup of sour cream
3/4 - 1 cup of water (See how much your original recipe calls for and then drop it by 1/3 - 1/4 of a cup)
1/2 cup of oil
4 eggs

Mix according to the directions on the box and bake according to the box. Remember... if you have a little (just a little) cake sticking to your toothpick when you test to see if it is done, that is OKAY!!! Your cake will continue to cook after you take it out of the oven.

Is it worth the extra's? ABSOLUTLEY!!! I promise, you'll get compliments on that cake!

Banana Cream Cupcakes

My Dad's Birthday is March 9th. He loves banana cream pie but that's not really something I can decorate so I'm creating a banana cream cake for him. I wanted to come up with a really moist, melt in your mouth, banana cake recipe that I can use for his Birthday. So today is my day to test this recipe.
I tweaked my usual vanilla cake to come up with this moist and banalicious cupcake! It's topped with a very light whipped icing.


As usual, my husband is my taste tester. Thanks Matt!!! We've got a winner!
