You can add flavor to your yellow cake mix by incorporating extracts, zest, juice, or other pantry staples you would typically use in baked goods.
Here's a breakdown of options:
- Extracts: Add a teaspoon or two of rum, almond, or orange extract. Experiment to find your favorite!
- Citrus Zest and Juice: For a bright flavor, add a teaspoon or two of fresh lemon or lime zest, or a bit of their juice.
- Other Pantry Ingredients: Consider ingredients you use in cookies, brownies, or other cakes, such as spices (cinnamon, nutmeg), chocolate chips, nuts, or even a swirl of fruit preserves.
These simple additions can elevate your yellow cake mix and make it taste homemade!
