Cake Mix Doctor #1

How many of you have heard of the cake doctor book? I've had a copy for quite awhile and have made some delicious cakes! The main idea is that you start with a store bought cake mix, but add in all these yummy ingredients to make it special. I've made the Amaretto, Gooey cake bars, and the Chocolate Pistachio, but this book has hundreds of cake ideas so I thought I'd try most of them. There are a few that are very similar, such as one using vanilla vs. another using almond flavoring.





Devil's Food Buttermilk Cake


I bake quite a bit and had never used buttermilk before!  It smells just terrible, like soured milk, but once it is baked, it was quite tasty.  The cake is really moist and I decided not to use any icing, because who needs those extra calories when the cakes themselves taste so good?
