I just found your channel and I love it. U are an awesome cook and if u had a restaurant I would eat there every day ❤ 💙 💜
Her 5 TIPS:
1) EGGS: Use 4 eggs instead of 3 eggs
2) VEGETABLE OIL: Replace the vegetable oil with butter; use 2/3 c melted, unsalted butter
3) WATER: Ditch the water; use 1 cup of buttermilk
4) PUDDING MIX: add 1 pack of Jello Pudding Mix; use flavors that compliment each other
5) VANILLA: use pure vanilla; 1 teaspoon of vanilla (or 1/2 t vanilla and 1/2 t lemon)
Bake 350 degrees
36 minutes or until toothpick is inserted and clean
Going to try this 🌹🌹🌹🌹thank you
Thank you for typing out the recipe. I used half milk and half sour cream. The hacks in this video are very helpful! Tasted so much like homemade!
@@denagustafson6070 Thanks for the sour cream tip. Going to try this recipe for sure and will do the milk and sour cream hack, sounds like a good hack especially if you don't have buttermilk only whole milk.
By the time you go
Through all of that, you could make the whole cake from scratch.
@@Proverbspsalms 🤗
And one of the best tips that my dear grandmother taught me that really works! Is to let your eggs sit out on the counter for a few minutes before mixing up the batter. It makes the cake rise up higher family! 👍🏽🥰
That’s true about using room-temperature eggs when baking.
So TRUEEEEEEE. Mine are sitting out right now...
Hi, Queen. I made your cake today (11/20/2022) and I must say that it is everything you said it would be--rich, creamy, delicious. My family loved it! The only problem was it went too quickly! Thanx for those tips because they worked perfectly. I will never make a box cake following the box directions ever again!! I would recommend any bakers in the comments to make this cake if you haven't already. It's absolutely delicious!!
I'm a scratch cook, but EVERYONE needs a quick cake sometimes! 🙂 I've tried the mayo thing (too greasy) and the sour cream thing (too tangy), but THIS is the way to do it. And the older I get, the less my sweet tooth wants icing, so it's wonderful to be able to have a quick, moist, delicious cake good enough to stand alone. Thanks!! (and as a former software and sewing teacher, absolutely love your presentation style)
I don't know which one I enjoyed more?? Your voice or the learning how to bake the French perfectly moist cake🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️I can listen to you talk all day long👌
Olga
👍
Okay so keep the video on repeat and listen to it all day.
I so agree Didi Uncut....her voice is soothing!!
I agree
I think that a lemon glaze drizzled on top would make it even better! It looks delicious 🤤 😋 !
This was the best cake I've made in ages. My husband and I just finished eating this cake recipe, I made this afternoon and it's a BIG WOW.😮... my difference was I only had a white cake mix and box of banana pudding mix. I picked up buttermilk with my groceries today. I even had 4 oz of cream cheese and I softened and added 1 cup of confectioners sugar, 1/4 tsp vanilla flavoring, 1 Tablespoon of milk. Then I poured over my Bundt cake, to drizzle down the side. Now my husband really isn't a cake fan, but boy the comments he gave and raved over how soft and moist this cake is. He really wanted to get another piece, but I had to hurry and put the cake away.
Dear Sister......I'll rave over this recipe forever. And I love to bake. I can only imagine what combination I will use for Christmas....May you be blessed.
I made this cake yesterday! Lady, if I tell you this is THE BEST Cake I’ve ever had! Omg! Thank you so much, I’m going to get me another piece 🤤😃😋
Have faith in JESUS CHRIST as LORD and SAVIOR for HE SAVES from the wrath of GOD which is spending an eternity in hell❗️
*What is the Gospel?*
The true gospel is the good news that God saves sinners. Man is by nature sinful and separated from God with no hope of remedying that situation. But God, by His power, provided the means of man’s redemption in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Savior, Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 2:8-9
For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of GOD, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
Romans 10:9
9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
JESUS CHRIST can come anytime!
Just Believe ❤️ Love you and GOD BLESS
@@tama3442 Why you always gotta bring up 'hell' when we are here trying to enjoy some cake? Please people, have some respect.
@Libby Hicks it’s just a bot. religious types of comments that look like this don’t acknowledge what video they’re on; they just spam everywhere they can
@@libbyhicks7549 Because if you wind up in Hell there will be NO CAKE there!!!
Thank you so much for doing this video! My grandmother and I used to make box cakes just this way. She died in 2009 and it’s been hard for me to bake without her because it feels sad. Watching this made me want to make a cake and celebrate all the other times I made box cakes this way with my grandmother. Thank you so much! I love the way you describe what you’re doing. I am blind and I appreciate it when people actually describe everything they do not just part of what they do. Love, Pam
Thank you so much Ms Pam. This warms my heart honestly. I appreciate your time and feedback, have fun baking!
I'm really sorry about your Mom passing and I feel the same as you when I make one of my Mom's recipes. She passed away unexpectedly five years ago coming back from a routine doctor's appointment, she had turned 80 a few weeks earlier. My life was changed forever in so many ways. My blessings to you and your loved ones and great health and happiness in the horizon 💝👐🌈
Embrace what she taught you and use it for good...Im the polar opposite when I start missing my nana I get in the kitchen and whip up some of her famous dishes And share them with friends and family...My uncles be so happy...Its a wonderful way to honor her memory...Hope this help💗💗💗💗💗

Good for you. GOD bless 🙏🏾 I bake with my granddaughter 😊💞
If you're a "crust girl", instead if buttering and flouring the pan, butter then sprinkle pan with SUGAR. Comes out crispy. Works well on banana, zucchini, etc breads too. When I made this, topped it with warmed blueberry preserves. Goes good with lemon.
Cathy!!!!!💕💕💕💕💕
major plot twist🥰🥰🥰
Yes. I thought about using powered Suger instead of flour😌
Sounds Amazing for Sure Ms Cathy
Oh you just did something here!!!!!
This looks like a 7UP cake I used to bake from scratch, VERY GOOD!!!
Girl you are a Queen! If I had read a recipe that added all the things you put into that box cake i would have said that won't work. Well I would be wrong because that cake was mouth watering to look at. I am definitely going to check out more of your videos.
I have made box cakes all my life just the way they told me to. I'm 66 and not too old to learn something new. God bless you.
I know this video is old, but I have to say thank you!
You had me in stitches at the beginning and end of this video when you said, "Don't tell anybody!" Then you invited us to take some. I thought that was the bomb!!!!!
🤣🤣 thank you so much
Other than the pudding mix, which I've never tried, I can recommend all these tricks! Extra eggs, butter, vanilla, milk . . . Totally works, every single time. 👍
I have been *doctoring* box cake (for cupcakes only - still make all of my cakes from scratch) for about 15 years. A professional baker shared this "secret" with me and I've done it ever since.
This sister knows how to cook a cake. Every time I follow her recipe it comes out perfect!!! Thank you GOD BLESS.
Yes Ma'am, say No more. After your cornbread recipe😋, I'm on it! I shall give you my review directly, thanks much for This🖐🏾.
I always like to put a special touch and make recipes "semi-homemade" but when I tried this one... well this definitely turned into Jesus cake. I only swapped the suggested buttermilk to heavy cream cause it was all I had and worked wonders. So spongy and moist. This is a must keep recipe/hack. 💯 😋 Blessings!

Def will try the HWC the first go around as well. Thanks for the tip.
If you don’t have buttermilk, put a teaspoon of vinegar or lemon juice in milk and it will sour it…aka buttermilk.
Thanks. Your passion is appreciated.
We made this last night 6.18.3022 for father's day today ...OH MY GOODNESS! This is the absolute best cake. So far we love your cornbread recipe and now this. I can't wait to find more of your recipes.
Hi. What size box of pudding mix did you use?
@@connieedwards8321 single serve size. I'm making a strawberry one this week but I don't have strawberry flavored pudding so I'm using the French vanilla
@@melindasadiki1445 Thank you!
Since I had tried your cornbread recipe, I decided to also try your French vanilla cake recipe. Wow, I can testify that there are huge differences from the box instructions versus yours. May the LORD Jesus bless you for sharing these excellent tips.(Numbers 6:24-26)
I have used the baking hacks you shared when making a red velvet cake (for Christmas) and everyone raved about the cake asking if I made it from scratch. Well, yes I did! The hacks make a huge difference in a cake mix! Thanks!
@ B. Bell it would have been full scratch if you had only used sugar and flour:-). It also would not have had all those extra chemicals. Having said that, I'm still going to try this cake in just a few minutes😂. Looks yummy🎂
Glad I found this channel! Who’s ready to try this besides me
Best cake hack yet! Thank you so much!
Thank you I never thought about adding buttermilk and omitting water !
This cake looks so moist and fluffy. So delicious
I made this and I must say it was the best cake I’ve ever made!! Didn’t even taste like a box cake thank you so much ❣️
I’ve been using these tricks for a while and it definitely makes a huge difference!!
Exactly.... i never use water when making box cake. I always use whole milk and melted butter instead of using oil and ofcourse eggs, and it takes it to a whole other level, but i never add vanilla i will try that next time. Looks yummy. I can enjoy it with my hot tea ☕. Tfs
In my experience the vanilla masks the distinctive box cake taste.
If u use milk instead of water do.u use the same measurements as box cake says and on the butter also
@@chrissanders6819 yes, same amount of milk as water.
Oh my gosh Mansa Queen, 🥰 thank you for upping my game again with these tips! That looks SO good! Have a wonderful rest of the week!
That cake looks stunningly beautiful. Will definitely try this. Love your enthusiasm and clear instructions. 👏🏼
Definitely Going To Try This! Thank You So Much!
This cake looks awesome! I’m making it as soon as I get a cake mix! Thank You! 🥰
Mansa Queen, Your presentation and lovely voice was just perfect. I loved the tips. A lot of my Betty Crocker baking recipes have cross outs where I made substitutions. That pudding mix is a trick my Navy buddy showed me years ago he used for his box chocolate cake. I can tell when squeezed your cake how moist it came out. I am going to try this one and share it my friends. Thank you 😊
I can't stop eating this cake! It tasted just like a homemade cake. Thank you!
Thank you! Something that makes life easier is just right for me. Can't wait to try !
Perfect. What wonderful set up tips. Upping my game!
My mom always replaced the vegetable oil with butter on her pineapple cakes-people always thought it was homemade-yes milk instead of water too, and she used the pure vanilla/lemon sometimes the one from Mexico! A friend would travel there and would go there and bring her pure vanilla and voila! I started using the pudding mix and it made an even bigger difference-thank you sooo much for sharing❤️❣️🎈🥰🎊🎉
Mmm the real stuff. Thanks for watching
I ran out of my last bottle of Mexican vanilla and now I make my own -- it's better!!! Use a sterilized pint canning jar with lid, add 5-6 sliced/scraped vanilla beans, add vodka to 1/2" from the top, and close with a sterilized lid or a flat and ring. You're not trying to seal the jar like canning, so it can be a used flat or lid but be sure to sterilize with boiling water. Label with the date, put in a dark pantry or cabinet, and leave for 2-6 months, shaking every now and then. I buy a dozen vanilla beans on amazon for about $10, and always found them to be fresh - probably because they sell so much. Anyway, it is AMAZING -- and will run you about $10 for an entire pint !!! I've also made a batch with orange vodka, just like a creamsicle. 🙂 You can also use rum or experiment with other alcohols. And if you remember to make them in the summer, you'll have glorious gifts for your baking friends at Christmas!
I love this example and your voice is soooo soothing love to listen
This is amazing! So helpful for us who don’t bake!
Look at hos moist the cake is, I really love the colour
My my my, I'm so glad I was able to watch you make this french vanilla box cake. I followed your instructions and
I'm so impressed. My wife hardly ever eats cake, but she loved it and so did the rest of the family, because it did not last .it was gone before I got seconds.
Thank you. ❤
I'm baking now and can't wait to take out of the oven. So enjoyed watching you teaching how to bake this
Wow!! This is the absolute best step by step straight up to the point video! Thank you soo much! ❤️❤️

I do all of the tips you gave (+):
* I use Coffee from the AM instead of water when making a Chocolate cake.

Your cake looked beautiful. I can taste it already. Thank you for showing me this recipe.

No longer will I worry about the desert this Thanksgiving. You have inspired me to make two (2) cakes!
I made this cake today and my family "Loved" it. Nice ,and moist! Thank you for this recipe!
Thank you Mansa Queen, I followed your instructions and it turned out sooooo moist and delicious!
thank you.
you made me smile a lot.
I love this! We are often shamed for not baking from scratch but sometimes life is just too much and we need a short cut but not from flavor! I bought a cookbook that is just about boxed cake mix recipes. None of those recipes look as yummy as this!!

Gently bump sides of mixing bowl several several times while cake batter is still in the bowl this will help trapped air bottles come to the top surface so it will have less air bottles in the cake once it done ..just a good tip
Or better yet once in the cake pan just lift it up and drop same thing only thinner batter.
Once I pour my batter in the pan, I whack the sides. I saw someone do this and copied. , Thanks I never knew why.
I like French vanilla cake mix too. Thank you for sharing ❤️❤️
I’m definitely going to try this! Thank you!
I made the cake and it came out perfect.
Love your recipes
I’ve just discovered you on RUclips! Totally following you from the first moment on. You make me feel so comfortable and confident to try making new foods in my kitchen. Thanks so much!
Thank You for the tips
Thank you Mansa for easy cake mix today I love it will try .
I’m SOOOO gonna try this. Thank you ❤
That cake has my mouth watering and I can’t wait to make it. Thank you!

I've made something similar, but never thought of swapping the water for buttermilk. Great idea! Can't wait to try that. Thank you for sharing your upcycled box cake recipe!
Great recipe!I love using Duncan Hines cake mix.
Wonderful tips! Thank you!
Looks amazing!
Thanks for the tips. Sometimes I’m just too tired to make a cake from scratch but I still want that taste. I’ve used Duncan Hines brand several times but sometimes I can tell the difference. The cake comes out delicious but I can tell just a little bit that it’s not from scratch. But with these tips I believe I can change that. The cake looks wonderful.
I have been using this recipe with a pound cake box mix. It’s so good.
Thank you for your receipt!
😊
YAS SIS! I be doctoring up a cake mix in a minute! And if you do it right, ppl really can't tell that its from a box. Sometimes we don't have that time with our busy lives. Actually you are right about the bakery thing. quite a few of them use a high quality box mix to get consistant results. The key is that folks better not doctor up that box cake and then add a box frosting 😭 that would be tragic haha
You know that box frosting is annoying especially on a box cake 😂. My thick is to use a homemade frosting too. Thanks for watching sissy 🥰
Even if I use a box cake mix without enhancing it, I still use homemade frosting ... usually buttercream!
My Mom used to use the term “ doctoring” all the time. Brought back good memories. Thank You
Hey Miss Mansa! Loved your community post recently. I appreciate your positive vibe!
Oh thank you so much! We all need some kind of positive affirmation from time to time ❤️
Love it!! looks delicious!!!!!
Favorite recipe! Thank you
Oknofficially hooked on Mansa Queen! I love her narration and wow this cake is beautiful!!!!
Just took it out of the oven . It smells so good can't wait to try it.
Loved your hack!
I made this cake my family loved it ❤ making it again thank you massage queen👍🏼🎉🥰
