How to Dense Up Cake Mix (Boxed)

Cake mix seems to be frowned upon by a lot of people, but I am not sure why. Do you know how many professional cake decorators and bakeries use cake mixes? Sure they are commercial grade, but often they are purchased from companies like Pillsbury (who makes boxed cake mix!). Though cake mixes are great for cupcakes, they are hardly the case for a cake that needs to stand up to decorations.  Though a lot of recipes out there call for additives like pudding or gelatin, I think that is the wrong way to go.  These cakes tend to come out uncomfortably spongy and have a texture that just does not feel good in my opinion.  

So how do you dense up a cake mix?  Visit the "Recipe" page to see my Densed Up White Cake Mix!

Happy eating!
