Ok, I’m generally a from-scratch kind of girl, but when it comes to cakes, I’m totally cool with starting with a boxed mix. With a little love, those boxes produce pretty darn good cakes. What’s even better is that with the right recipe, they can produce all sorts of other delicious desserts, from donuts and cookies to waffles and bars and truffles and muffins and sweet rolls, oh my! Here are 25 amazing cake mix hacks: recipes that are as easy as they are amazing thanks to a boxed cake mix.
