Best Red Velvet Cake Recipe With Box Mix

This is how I make doctored red velvet box mix so that it tastes more like it's made from scratch. The added ingredients give the cake a better texture, more flavor, and more stability for stacking. Doctoring box mixes is a great way to make your cakes taste better if you're not a confident baker yet or you just need a shortcut.
