Made this as I was watching lol! I needed this as a reference for myself!
Thank you! 🙌
Me too ... I made it as u was watching, but thank you for typing it out 🎉
Why does she freeze them?
Retired and don’t bake a lot anymore, but occasionally for family celebrations. I love watching you and your videos for your truth, positivity and humor. Love the spice cake and buttercream icing. Will continue to watch, especially when I need uplifting and a feel good moment. Trying to donate, but finding hard to find on TV and iPhone You Tube.
Thank you, I’m going to have to try it👍💕
Another winner from you!!! Can't wait to try this spice cake recipe!
I made some mini loaf cakes today using this recipe. I added 3 over-ripe bananas in place of the brown sugar. I also added a few shakes of cinnamon, a dash of cloves, and a little molasses. They smelled SO delicious! I topped them with a brown butter cream cheese cinnamon buttercream and some fall sprinkles. They turned out so cute! Thanks for this recipe and all the other great videos!
OMG this sounds AMAZING!! I'm taking notes, thank you!🙌
Do you think we could substitute the bañas for pumpkin? Pumpkin cake?
I agree spice cake is wonderful! Thank you for showing this recipe.
OMG it's one of my faves! With cream cheese filling...delish!
Made this for my husband. He loved it!
Thanks for the recipe.
Great to hear this! 🙌🙏
I love making a peanut butter icing for my spice cakes. Delicious!!
Omg really?! I gotta try that!
Those are really good my first time trying it, it came out so delicious.
Yessss!! So glad you like it! 🙌
I love spice cake! I will add 1/2 teaspoon - 1 1/2 teaspoons (I don’t measure either) of cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and cloves to vanilla buttercream and cover my spice cake with that. Then add a caramel drip…. AMAZING!
Writing this down, thanks Maggie!!🙌💜🙏
❤️
@@KarolynsKakes I'm curious do you have a chart or something that you follow that tells you how many doctored cake mixes you need to fill each size pan? I would love to know that! I've just recently really started doing larger layers for wedding cakes.
Is that 1/2 - 1 1/2 tsp of each spice or total spices?
@@rjlionheart I probably add a full teaspoon of cinnamon. Then half a teaspoon of the other spices except cloves. Those are the a strong I usually only add about a quarter of a teaspoon. Betty Crocker also makes a spiced cake mix. Idk if it's available in the market you live in. Good luck
Spice cake is amazing with cream cheese frosting..❤
I also like to use maple flavoring in my butter cream with spice cake. Works well with pumpkin spice cakes too.
I loves spice pound and coffee cakes
Thanks!
Karen!! Thank you so much, I really appreciate your generosity! 💜🙏
Me encanta tu manera de trabajar y agradezco la receta en gramos muchas gracias.
De Nada Carolina!
I made this cake last night. It was delicious! I was surprised how moist it was without oil or butter!
Yessss!! I try to tell people butter and oil isn't necessary, but you don't know until you try it!
THANK YOU !!! GREAT RECIPE !!! 😃😃👍👍👍
Last week I followed your instructions, only I added 3/4 teaspoon of the pumpkin spice mix. [ I like spice ] GREAT RESULTS !!
Yesterday, I used a Carrot Cake Box Mix. Another Success !!!
To those who have not tried this recipe, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this recipe !!!!
Peter! It really is so delicious, I'm so glad you like it 😊🙌
That turned out great!! Was looking for this :) keep sharing please… I’m subscribed to your channel 🥰
I'm a fan of spice cake, my favorite is coconut cake😋
JUST got this into the oven...with the help of my four and two year old grandsons! It smells great...will get back to you when I serve it this evening!
I bet your house smells amazing!! 🙌
@@KarolynsKakes Haha! Yes! And I did serve it and my friends really liked it! Thank you so much for sharing! I made it in a tube pan ( not in layers) because I was in a bit of a hurry. It browned beautifully and yes, smelled great! I used one third of your white buttercream recipe and put it in a piping bag. I piped out a loopy looking glaze ( kinda like "Nothing Bundt Cakes") and it was just enough sweetness to dress it up. I even crushed some pecans and almonds and applied it to only one half of the glaze ( I don't expect little children to like the nuts). So I'm so happy with your generosity in sharing your knowledge and talent! God reward you!
I love it 😍
Thank you honey!
I love that you have a link for everything, like how you scale down recipes to work for different size cake pans. Thank you 💕💕💕
Is this recipe written out on here? I can't find it.
@@lmarlin she shares it in her tutorial.
I love watching your videos and learned a lot. Thank you! I made chocolate cake and used coffee to moist it. It was light and delicious. I had leftover batter so I made some cupcakes, but it was dry. I freeze them too. Please advise
Sometimes cupcakes can bake fast and it's easy to overbake them. That's probably what happened!
Can't wait to try this one! What do you think about adding finely shredded carrot? Do you have a carrot cake recipe? Thank you for your videos they are inspiring!
I need to come up with a carrot cake recipe, people keep asking me for one! You can absolutely add shredded carrot to this recipe, maybe reduce the milk to 2/3 cup.
@@KarolynsKakes .. why reduce the milk?
@@zaneblane8160 because as carrots cook, their juices are released so you will need to reduce your milk.
I use your exact recipe except I add one stick (half cup very room temp butter) ❤️
This is great to know! Thank you so much for sharing this. Do you add the butter after the milk?
Great as usual. Thank you for sharing. I have a question how do you defrost on counter or in fridge and how many hours ? Thank you again
Here ya go!

Hi, Plan on making your doctored strawberry cake. Should I now add 4 eggs to that as well? Thank you 😊
Hey! You absolutely can! I'm not rigid with all of my recipes, I like to change things up every now and then. An extra egg makes it more moist!
Do you by chance have any suggestions for a delicious gluten and dairy free recipe? My son has a lot of allergies and his birthday is coming up. I'd love to give him a really yummy cake/cupcake this year.
Unfortunately I've never made GF / DF cakes, so I don't have any recipes to recommend for you. I'm sorry!
I've seen quite a few cake bakers doctoring box mixes lately. One just uses the box mix and directions on the box. I don't think I'd do that especially if it was for a customer 🤔. As you baked I could smell the spices in my living room. Now the only problem I have is which link do I go to first 🙃. Thank you for sharing and keep on caking 💜
OMG my house smelled amazing all day!
I personally prefer to add more ingredients to the box cake just because it beefs it up and is easier to work with. But everyone has their own way of doing things, no way is wrong. It's just what works for you!
Hi Karolyn, I used cake flour which came out extra fluffy. Note I used oat milk. My cupcakes 🧁 came out fabulous.
Thank you for the feedback! Do you feel like extra fluffy was a good thing?
@@KarolynsKakes yes, extra fluffy was a good thing bc it tasted fresh and not boxed, even the next day on counter (no frig). They sprung well too. But, I know why you don’t use cake flour bc I froze one of the jumbo cupcakes the next day. After thawing it out the next day, it was no longer fluffy/springy, more like towards thick/dense, then crumbles when you bite into it. Since I didn’t freeze it immediately like you, maybe that’s why it crumbled? I’m going do your doctored chocolate then test again but freeze immediately.
This was my son's 16th birthday cake flavor, exactly like you made it 👏👏👏
Yess!! 🙌🙌 Did you do the cream cheese filling with it?
@@KarolynsKakes yes ma'am. Is there any other kind for that 🎂? 😂
Hi, I like that recipe, what happened when you bake on lower heat?
I love your doctored cake mixes! It's become my go to for baking cakes now. I've always been a cake mix girl because I just don't make enough cakes to mess with baking from scratch so using your suggestions has really upped my baking game, lol. Just wondered if you have ever doctored a gluten free cake mix? I've been searching on Pinterest and UA-cam because I've been asked to make one in December. I'd welcome your suggestions if you've ever used a gluten free mix.
I make doctored gluten free cakes and they are delicious. I make the same as Karolyn but leave out the flour and substitute 1 cup brown sugar instead of white sugar. You still use 1 cup milk and 1 cup sour cream with 3 eggs but I also add 1/2 cup melted butter. Gluten free mixes need the extra fat. I also add the vanilla.
@@lindapoye4001 thanks! I'm going to try this.
This is wonderful, thank you for the info because I never made GF cake!
Do you replace the flour with anything? 1:1 ration mix or anything? A friend of mine is GF and I have yet to make her a cake
Love your videos! Have you ever tried putting 2 cups of flour, 2 cups of milk, 2 cups of sour cream in the cake mix batter? Just curious to see how it turns out.
Baking is an exact science. Although, with cake mixes, you do have a margin of error. But if the ratios are off too much, you will have issues. If the cake has too much flour, it can be dry and crack. Too much sugar will make it too sweet and too tender. I would only double the ingredients if I used 2 cake mix boxes.
I love orange flavored cake and frosting. How much orange extract should I add to each? Thank you
Ooh! I would do 2-3 tsp in the cake batter and 1-2 tsp in the frosting.
Going to try this one but do you have a hack for carrot cake.
I don't...YET! I keep getting requests for it so I'm working on a carrot cake recipe!
Could I use a gluten free cake mix and doctor it up the same way?
Karolyn, for yesterdays party-I had to make my grandson (who is turning 1 year old Saturday) cake- it was 3 tiered and I used your Strawberry, Yellow and the Red Velvet.
He is my first grand-baby and this had to be special. He is of course precious to me because he came out not breathing but the LORD breath life in his tiny body and he is now a year old. Thank you Jesus.
I was not a ‘box’ person in my cakes even with the ‘enhanced’ with the typical oil and butter method but GIRL-your recipe is BOMB.
While enhanced cakes are easy-for me, if that taste isn’t there I don’t care how easy but look here….
You conquered 2 IMPORTANT factors for me.
#☝🏽-That unattractive box taste or processed taste of a cake mix. It was either SIGNIFICANTLY reduced and I mean BARELY THERE (the Yellow) or BETTER👉🏽it was NOT present at all such as that Strawberry.
#✌🏽- That Velvety, SOFT, Melt in your mouth texture. Absolute 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.
That’s on all of them.
I am extremely impressed especially because Yellow and ESPECIALLY White mixes are a no beuno for me. 😖😣😵💫🤢🤮.
To the yellow I added vanilla bean paste and a 1/4 tsp of creme bouquet.
Tall.
Fluffy.
Velvety.
Attractive. (due to flecks of tiny vanilla seeds)
VERY Good.
I’m go try this with a white mix and see what’s what…if that don’t work I’ll stick with Liz Mareks White scratch recipe as that my go to for white cakes. That thang is Fantastic. Labor intensive cause you really need a scale with her but Karolyn-yes ma’am-you have changed my thought on using a cake mix wit my cakes.
I’m go as Gretchen (of Gretchen’s Vegan Bakery) says ‘build’ on your recipe and see what I can concoct.
I’m thinking a ‘BlackBerry’ Jam Cake (Layers of course) using this recipe here incorporating a 1/2 cup Blackberry filling mixed in the batter with little smidge extra of spice.
I mean-why shouldn’t it be successful right?!!!
🤷🏽♀️
The strawberry….was STRAIGHT
💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣!!!
Love you Gurl.❤️
This is fantastic! Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know this.
And I totally agree, use these recipes as a guide and start adding what you want. The blackberry sounds delish!
You're the best, I appreciate you!
@@KarolynsKakes ❤️🙇🏽♀️❤️
I just put it into the oven but of course i had to make a few substitutions so we'll see how it turns out🤞
Just wondering if you can substitute pumpkin puree for the sour cream? Add 1 tbsp of pumpkin pie spice. Any thoughts?
You can definitely add the pumpkin pie spice! And I would personally substitute the milk for the pumpkin puree and still add the sour cream. The puree is pretty watery, so if you do milk and puree, the batter could be really thin. But if you do try it, please let me know how it turns out!
Could you do same recipe in Bundt cake pan ?
Yes you can! When I bake in a bundt pan, I like to reduce the oven temp to 325F and bake a little longer, maybe 50-60 minutes.
Have you done a doctored carrot cake? I'm wondering if it would follow the norm of what u do for the others..
I haven't figured out a recipe that I like yet. But it would follow the norm of the other cake mix recipes. (Adding same ingredients and then something for carrot cake.)
Hi Karolyn ty for your video. My store did not have a boxed spice cake, can you change a yellow cake mix or a carrot cake mix into a spice cake? If so, please let me know what ingredients to add. I have a recipe for an apple cream cheese trifle but it made with spice cake. Ty 🙂
I would take a vanilla cake mix and add all the spices.
Sorry I'm just seeing this! Like Megan said, I would use a yellow cake mix and add 1-2T pumpkin spice to it! I have done that before and it's delicious.
Hi there. How many boxes should I use for a layered 1/2 sheet? Thank you
You'll probably need 4 boxes 😊
Coulda flower nail be used instead of your center post?
Yup!
Question. I’ve watched all your cake recipe video and you normally mix everything about 30 seconds each. Why mixing longer at the end on this cake recipe? Or did I miss something? Also I thought you were baking at a lower temp do you bake everything at 350 now? I’m obsessed your channel now
Hi Kim! Since I started this channel, I have adopted different ways of doing things. Now, I beat 90 sec - 2 minutes after all ingredients are added. It helps beat air into the batter and helps it to rise. I bake 325 for 10" cakes and bigger. And I bake 350 for 9" and smaller. I've also been messing around with adding an additional egg (like I did in this video) or just an additional egg yolk to the cake as well. So I'm always trying new things out!
Can I add applesauce
Can you do a carrot cake
Hello! If I add a can of pumpkin to the spice cake recipe, shall I omit or add less milk? Any suggestions? Thank You! ❤
If you add a 15 oz can of pumpkin, you will want to omit the milk altogether.
You are absolutely the best!!!! Thank you!!!
What filling do you like to pair with spice cake?
Cream cheese but I tell her it's regular buttercream hahaha 😆. And she loves it. 💜
Cream cheese would definitely be nice. I'm thinking an apple or caramel filling would work too.
My mom would add shredded carrots and crushed pineapple to her spice cake mix in a pinch but mostly she'd make carrot cake from scratch, so delicious 😋 😜 😀 😍
Cream cheese for sure
Spiced peach filling is wonderful with spice cake!
I find your video on making your own fondant very fascinating
you ever add anything to the cream cheese filling? walnuts?
I don't, but that sounds DELISH!! I'd probably toast them and chop them up really small.
Can I do this without a standing mixer?
You can use a hand held mixer.
Can yon do butter cake next
Oooh...I love butter cake! But I don't make it. Primarily because there is a local bakery (Fritz's) who makes the best so I just order it from there when I need one! LOL I'm sorry I don't have a recipe for that.
Can you bake this recipe in a bundt cake pan?
Oh nevermind, I just saw that someone else had asked that question and I got my answer! Can't wait to try it!
💕❤️
Hi Carolyn I'm new to your channel
I'm trying to figure out what I did wrong on making cupcakes with the doctored cake mix. I followed the recipe you said in the video. I didn't waver from the amounts of the ingredients. The cupcakes were so dry. I threw them in the garbage. Here are my questions... Do I HAVE to wrap them in order to assure they are moist? (I cooled them on a cooling rack because I didn't have time to wrap, freeze, thaw and frost. I needed them the next day.) Or.. is it just as simple as I left them in too long? or.. maybe I didn't mix long enough? Can you think of what I may have done wrong with your specific recipe? Thank you in advance. :)
Oh no! You most likely let them bake too long. Oven temps can vary. Start checking on them around 12 minutes. Did you mix the batter for 90 sec - 2 minutes?
@@KarolynsKakes The amount of time mixing, I am unsure of... It's been a couple of weeks since I tried the recipe. I just haven't had time to sit down to ask your thoughts on my mistakes. If I didn't mix long enough, could that have been a reason or if I had mixed too long? Which is worse? Mixing too long or not long enough, both?
@@KanaTron ...cc need to be kept in an air tight container until iced or they will dry out..hth
@@zaneblane8160 I was icing them that night, as soon as they were cooled. I wasn't making them in advance.
Are the eggs cold as well? Thanks!
Eggs aren't cold, it's better if they are room temp. 😊
Can I add spices to this doctored cake mix?
Of course!
How do you label your cakes once you freeze them so you know which is which?
If I have to label them, I’ll write on a post-it note and stick it to the plastic wrap. ☺️
Thank you. 😊😊😊
What diameter are the pans you use in the spice cake video?
I explain this at 5:36 in the video. 😊
Love the spice cake with the ingredients on the back of the box and get many compliments for the delicious taste and moistness so why are you changing the ingredients?
Adding the extra ingredients beefs it up a bit! It makes it more dense and moist. I feel like it holds up to decorating better because it doesn't fall apart easily. However, stick to the recipe on the box if that's what has worked for you!
Can I add shredded carrots to this?
I thought I replied to this, but I'm not sure it went through. Yes you can, I'd probably add 80-100g carrots to the recipe.
Would you do the same for carrot cake?
You can with a carrot cake mix!
@@KarolynsKakes is there anything else extra I should and to it?
Can u use cake flour instead?.... that's all I have a bit of.😬.... do u need to do anything different. Would the taste be different?
So I used cake flour about 15 years ago in this recipe and I didn't love the outcome. However, I can't even remember why LOL
I prefer all-purpose flour, but I know some people use cake flour instead. If you try it, please let me know how it turns out!
Can I make these into cupcakes
Yes! I do that all the time. Fill 2/3 full and bake at 350 for 15-17 minutes
Thank you!!
Could I do the same thing with a box of carrot cake mix?
Yes you can!🙌
@@KarolynsKakes Thanks for responding!
👋🏻😁👍🏻
Do you do a boxed pound cake using spice cake hacks?
I don’t, my pound cakes are made from scratch.
@@KarolynsKakes I like the scratch recipes too. But I'm going to experiment with pound cake. I'll let you know how it turns out.
Thx Chick
Has anyone tried this and find the spice flavor is lacking? Essentially, this is just a heck to increase the amount of cake, But doesn't add any additional spices to compensate. Seems like it would be watering the flavor down some.
I haven't found that adding the extra ingredients reduces the spice flavor at all. But, you can always add 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice to the dry ingredients if you prefer!
U use box cake mix when u sell? Do u tell ur customers
I use a doctored mix recipe for my decorated cakes. I'm completely honest if someone asks! (People usually don't ask, but I have my recipes on here and many of my customers see my videos.)
@@KarolynsKakes thank you for your honesty. I’m using box n doctored whatever tips I find since I’m practicing but I didn’t know if people did that. I’m learning so much from your channel. 😊
Is this recipe written out on here? I can't find it.
I didn't write it out, I'm sorry!
I only have 1%milk. What to do?
That will be fine. I prefer whole milk because of the higher fat content. But it won't be that big of a difference!
I am not sure why you add flour and sugar to a box cake mix. Doesnt that defeat the point of using a cake mix? What are you getting from the mix other than leavening and some spices? If you are going to add so many other ingredients you might as well just make the entire cake from scratch and save the money of purchasing a mix.
Doctored mix recipes produce more consistent results. Baking is an exact science. But with a doctored mix, there's a margin of error that you don't have with a scratch recipe. I do both doctored mix and scratch baking and have found that most people prefer the taste and texture of a doctored mix recipe!
Too bad you didn't follow thru with finishing this cake.
I’m sorry but I’m not sure what you’re saying?
