Elevate Boxed Cake Mix By Switching The Water For Chocolate Milk
By Harriette Halepis
If you want to elevate your chocolate boxed cake mix, swap the required amount of water with chocolate milk. It creates a moist, thick, creamy batter with more chocolatey flavor.
The type of chocolate milk you add matters, and you'll want to read the labels to find milk that isn't full of other ingredients and won't make your cake batter too thin.
Avoid any skim options for baking purposes. Since fat is removed from skim milk, it's thinner than other options and reduces your cake's fat content.
Check the labels and avoid milk with a lot of added sugars and other chemicals that will alter the final baked good. It's best to use whole milk with no additives or chemicals.
Consider purchasing fresh chocolate milk from a local farm or making your own. The idea is to find full-fat chocolate milk that can boost your cake's chocolatey flavor.
