The article discusses how to enhance the flavor and texture of store-bought cake mixes by substituting water with alternatives like whole milk, buttermilk, brewed coffee, soda, or fruit juice. Expert Jerrelle Guy emphasizes that these changes can significantly impact the cake's richness and density, with whole milk being particularly effective for classics like white and yellow cakes. Applying equal measurements of these substitutes instead of water allows for creative freedom while maintaining recipe balance, resulting in a more flavorful and satisfying cake.
You can skip adding water for whole milk, buttermilk, brewed coffee, soda, or fruit juice to enhance the taste and texture of your cake.
Whole milk adds more richness, flavor and moisture because it has more fat, affecting the texture and density of your boxed cake.
You can maintain the same amount of liquid but replace it with an equal measure of your substitute ingredient, enhancing flavor or altering density.
A classic white cake, yellow cake, or strawberry cake would definitely benefit from the added robustness of whole milk.
