Cake Mix Doctor White Cake

From the Cake Mix Doctor cookbook.  This is a great white cake recipe.  Adding sliced strawberries to the batter makes for a lovely variant (omit a bit of milk if strawberries are extra juicy).

1 package plain white cake mix
1 c. whole milk
8 tbsp butter, melted (1 stick)
3 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla


  1. Preheat the oven to 350F.  Grease two 9" round cake pans or line cupcake tins.  
  2. Place the cake mix, milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl.  Blend with an electric mixer on low speed for 1 minute.  Stop the machine and scrape the sides of the bowl  Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat 2 minutes more, scraping the sides as needed.  The batter should look well blended.  
  3. Bake the cakes until they are golden brown and spring back when lightly pressed with your finger (27-29 minutes for two 9" rounds).  Remove from the oven and let cook for 10 minutes.
