We make Paper Macaron package
from scratch. We also use a boxed mix as our base and then add to it when
making a cake.
I'd like to share several ideas for using a
boxed mix as your base:
1. Make
the cake according to package directions but add in either chocolate chips or
mini M&M's. Use between one and two cups of chips or morsels. Mix in at the
end and then bake as directed.
2. Make
one white cake and one chocolate cake. Make one cake a swirl cake. Pour the
white cake batter into the baking dish. Now create several lines of chocolate
batter. Use a butter knife and swirl in the white cake mix. When done, cook the
remaining chocolate cake and you've now got one swirl cake and one chocolate
cake.
3. We
happen to like mayonnaise in our house. Start with a box of chocolate cake mix.
Add in one cup of mayonnaise, one cup of water and three eggs. Mix it together
and then bake at 350 degree for about 30 minutes.
4. Start
with printed wine boxes of
chocolate cake mix. Add in two eggs, one box of instant chocolate pudding and 1
¾ cup milk. We use non fat milk. If you use 2% or whole milk, your cake will be
a bit creamier. If you want to stir in chocolate chips, add them at the end.
Bake about 45 minutes at 350 degrees.
