I can’t make a cake from scratch but I can cheat

I can’t bake a cake from scratch they come out dry and wrong.  I’ve made my peace with that.  I can however, take any box cake and make it better!  Instead of using water use milk.  Add one extra egg to whatever they are calling for.  If your feeling really whacky throw in a box of instant pudding mix.  The pudding makes the cake more moist.  Add your eggs first so you can beat them, then the milk and oil, then the pudding, then the cake mix and never beat it for more than 2 minutes or till all the dry ingredients are well no longer dry.  If your making a carrot cake skip the pudding instead add a can of cooked carrots.  I know, I know it sounds wrong, it sounds gross and that’s why I wanted till you boys were adults to tell you that I’ve been doing that all of your lives.  For pineapple upside down cake lay sliced pineapples on the bottom of your prepared pan.  (I spray the bottom and sides of my pans rather than use the butter and flour trick.)  Sam will insist that you put maraschino cherries inside the pineapple rings.  Sprinkle with brown sugar, okay skip that sprinkle bit and think Pompey volcanic ash, dot with butter and pour your yellow cake mix over the whole thing.   If your making a pound cake or angel food cake I would skip the pudding too.
