Also, adjust the oven rack so that it's in the middle of the oven. What causes holes and tunnels in a cake? It's okay if your cake has some holes. They're caused by leavening bubbles that didn't escape before the top crust of the cake formed.
Use the test for doneness given on the package directions and recheck the baking time. What causes a cake to fall? Add enough liquid. Not baking the cake to the correct bake time as specified for each pan on the package directions. Don't underbeat the batter. Double-check the beating time on the package instructions, and use low or medium speed on your standard or portable mixer.
What causes a cake to stick to the pan? Your cake will come out of the pans easily if you grease them generously with solid vegetable shortening or cooking spray. What's generous? About 1 tablespoon per layer. Once the cake is baked, take it out of the pan after it has cooled for about 10 minutes. So go ahead, brew some coffee, and bake up that angel's food cake Mom brought over.
Cut up a slice for her and for yourself. And when you take that first bite, remember that a cake-mix cake isn't just another pastry—it's a piece of American history. Will be used in accordance with our user agreement and privacy policy.

Okay, you opened that door, so I'm going through it! I know that there are a lot of good scratch bakers on here who kind of cower from stating this fact for fear of being called a cake snob, but baking is a skill, and not everyone has the skill to do a good scratch cake.
You can have a balanced recipe and have two people make it, and the person who has the skill to bake will have a better product. It's just like anything else. Two people can take the same piece of cloth, thread and scissors, and one will turn out a potato sack and one will turn out a couture gown. To the OP - do what you like and feel comofortable with. It does not mean you are a crappy baker or you don't know what you are doing if you don't bake a "good" scratch cake.
I was just having this conversation at the park. It seems like the younger generations that grew up on mixes prefer them to homemade cakes.
Anyone else find this to be true? I'm a lurker trying to come out of my shell. Be nice. If you grew up eating scratch, then that will be what your used too.
Now my kids eat both. If I don't feel like making a cake, then they gotta make one from a mix. They like both! I agree, baking is a skill The person that didn't like the "Hersheys" may just prefer something else. So for the OP, find what works for you and go with it. This is why I have no problem giving someone one of my recipes My family swears that I leave out key ingredients when I give them a recipe I don't Hey Jamie, we can hit Cask n' Flagon after we eat cake!

To get an extra rich and moist cake, stir in two extra egg yolks along with the eggs the recipe calls for save the egg whites to make these delicious meringues.
Remember, taking out the yolks decreases the amount fat in the cake, so make sure to replace it with 1 tablespoon melted butter for every yolk removed. Water tastes like, well, water! Swap it out for another liquid, preferably something with flavor and fat. Substitute whole milk or your favorite non-dairy milk almond and coconut milk work especially well. The milk adds fat, which results in better flavor and density in your cake.
Want to make your cake extra rich? Swap out the milk for buttermilk, and now you've really got something special! Because buttermilk is extra thick, use a few more tablespoons than the recipe calls for. Think "out of the box" and use other non-dairy liquids: Try swapping out the water for soda colas are the best , juice orange is great with vanilla and yellow cake , or even a stout beer for chocolate cake.
Most box cake recipes call for vegetable or canola oil. The only trouble is, these oils have almost no flavor.
