Can I turn a yellow cake mix into chocolate cake mix?

Yes you can. Add 4 tablespoons cocoa powder to your white cake mixture. However, you will need to increase the amount of buttermilk, milk or water; whatever you are using in the batter.

Can you add coffee to chocolate cake mix?

Yes you can. Use brewed and cooled coffee in your batter as the wet ingredient. Leave buttermilk in my recipe out and substitute coffee for it. Or you can use half buttermilk, half coffee. You will see how coffee helps the chocolate flavor and you will end up with a richer cake or muffin recipe.

Should you beat the eggs before adding to cake mix?

Yes, it’s better to beat the eggs and then add them in the dry ingredients. This way, you can easily combine the wet and dry ingredients. Otherwise, you might over-mix the batter which will cause your cake or muffins not to rise enough.

Does adding mayonnaise to cake mix make it moist?

Yes, mayonnaise helps your cake become richer and wonderfully moist. If you use just water as the wet ingredient, then add two tablespoons of mayo in the batter to have a luscious result. However, you don’t need it if you are using buttermilk or yogurt because they already make the same effect.
