The Cake Mix Doctor Returns‪!‬

The New York Times–bestselling cookbook that shows how to make 160 magical cakes using mix from a box.

"Anne Byrn tells how to turn mixes into masterpieces." —People Magazine

Transform ordinary cake mix into extraordinary cakes through just the right additions: Use buttermilk and sour cream for greater moisture and richness. Boost flavor with cocoa powder, peppermint extract, lemon zest—even lemon yogurt. Instead of water, try orange juice, canned pumpkin, or a leftover cup of coffee (it makes for a devilishly delicious brownie). Byrn takes bakers boldly forward with 160 fast, foolproof recipes, plus dozens of fresh ideas on frosting (including how to make only what you need), garnishing, and baking lighter cakes for lighter appetites.
