I also use Betty Crocker and have always been asked how I make the cake so moist. I just think that they are used to soggy cakes. I don't really care for Tres Leches cakes either. However I do make a chocolate Tres Leches which is really good. I use Betty Crocker chocolate fudge mix whipping cream, evaporated milk and coconut milk. I top with Maridas vanilla mousse. I only use half of the milk mixture which makes it moist but not soggy. I bought some buttermilk as suggested and I was wondering do I use all buttermilk or part water?
: I usually bake and freeze my cakes but I didn't do that this time. Could not freezing the cakes make them more dry?>>>>>>>>>>>>>I would not think not freezing would make it dry unless you didn't use it for several days. I, too, usually always freeze my cakes. I use Betty Crocker cake mixes and underbake them. I don't use any extra stuff in mine and always am told how good and moist they are. Those tres (whatever the name is) are way too soggy for my taste.
: Or add a package of instant pudding to your mix, along with a little more water and don't over-bake it.
: Substitute 1/3 cup buttermilk for 1/3 of the water called for in the mix. Your cakes will be very tender and moist and have a wonderful flavor.
: How can I make cake mixes more moist? Lady at work insists cake mixes are to dry.
