Cake Mix Alternatives

 cake recipe that is MY go to cake. It's the Moist Cake Recipe of mine. Take a plain old cake mix, make as directed and add 1 Cup Buttermilk and a small box of pudding mix to the batter. I use a pudding mix flavor that matches the cake flavor...like Pumpkin Spice Pudding mix with the spice cake, or Butterscotch pudding mix with the spice cake mix....etc. The real good one is the strawberry cake mix with a cheesecake pudding mix....and a cherry cake mix with a pistachio pudding mix. Make SURE THE PUDDING MIX IS INSTANT. Add raisins, walnuts, etc. to a spice cake then and it's delicious.
