Doctored up Cake Mix (Lemon Cake)

 I used this recipe to make Callen's Harry Potter pink cake for his birthday. It was very lemony. But it's a method I would use again for a super super moist and tender easy cake.

  • 1 box (15.25 oz) lemon cake mix (or whatever flavor)
  • 1 box (3.4 oz) lemon instant pudding (match to cake flavor)
  • 1 cup sour cream (room temp)
  • 3/4 cup canola or vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup whole milk (room temp)
  • 3 large eggs
  • Heat oven to 350°. Prepare three 9-inch cake pans by spraying with cooking spray. I did sprinkle and shake with flour too. Set aside. 
  • In a large mixing bowl, or you can use the bowl of a stand mixer, add the dry cake mix, instant pudding, sour cream, oil, milk, whole milk, and eggs. 
    Beat on low speed, increasing speed as needed, until the batter is well combined. The batter will be thick and that's ok. I did whip it for a minute or so.
  • Divide cake batter evenly between the three prepared cake pans. The layers will be thin but don't worry cause as they cook they will bake up higher. 
  • Cook for 18-20 minutes. Remove with just a few crumbs on toothpick. Don't be tempted to store on plates unless you want it to stick to it.
