What do you add to cake mixes to make them better?

Rum

I don't make or eat alot of cake. There are too many other bad for you things that I like better!

But, I do have a recipe for yellow cake mix and chocolate Thank You brand canned pudding topped with sugar and chocolate chips and it is yummy.

I don't know if this would work for you, but you know what my kids LOVE to snack on?

These:

Only I don't use the Chia seeds and I use sweetened coconut.

My kids love these too! Next time I make them I'm going to try and toast the oatmeal first. The raw oatmeal texture is a little off putting to me (so I eat them frozen)

Rum

Substitute orange or lemon Jello for instant pudding. Add 1 tsp orange or lemon zest and 1/8 -1/4 tsp of citrus extract. The nuts are frequently optional on this end. More rum can be added to glaze if you prefer. Once cake is baked and removed from pan poke holes in top and sides so the rum glaze soaks throughout.You can always add mo mo rum. Best rum from my perspective? Bacardi Anejo or Meyer's. Been serving this to my drunken errrr I mean dear friends and family for decades.

I add an egg to whatwver the box calls for, use whole fat milk in place of the water, and replace the oil with 1.5 times the amount of melted butter. Sometimes I add more cocoa and sugar to a choc cake. Not healthy at all but tastes home made!

That's exactly what I do. I also add some pure vanilla extract to vanilla cake mix and some melted chocolate to chocolate cake mix. I also like to add almond extract to vanilla.
