How to Make Cake Mix Extender I

  1. Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on your red velvet cake mix box.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix with the following additions: 1/2 cup buttermilk, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  3. Beat with an electric mixer for 2 minutes on medium speed, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. The batter will be thicker than usual.
  4. Pour batter into prepared cake pans (the recipe will fill two 9-inch round pans).
  5. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep in mind it might need a few extra minutes of baking time due to increased batter volume.
  6. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely. Frost and enjoy!
