Duff Goldman's First Step For Improving Any Cake From A Box - Tasting Table
Briefly

In a 2020 interview, Duff Goldman suggested using simple household spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves to enhance boxed cake mixes, bringing depth to flavors.
Goldman advises to start with dry spices before wet ingredients, warning against overdoing bold spices like cinnamon or cayenne pepper to ensure balance in flavors.
For best results, he recommends adding about two-and-a-half teaspoons of ground cinnamon for every boxed mix, adjusting other spices accordingly for flavor.
Combining spices can create unique flavors; for instance, using one teaspoon each of cinnamon with half teaspoons of allspice and nutmeg can elevate the cake.
