Notes
Do not forget to add sour cream to the recipe because it has a high-fat content. And it gives additional moisture to the cake. In addition to that, it makes for a thicker cake batter, not to mention it provides a richer flavor.
Cake flour is the best option because its low protein is a perfect addition to cake mixes. Besides, it produces less gluten during the mixing process. As a result, you will make a softer cake with a finer crumb if you use cake flour. As an alternative, use all-purpose flour; it will still appear gorgeous.
Ensure to use light brown sugar since the hint of it corresponds perfectly with cake mixes. Not only that, but also it adds moisture to cakes due to the molasses in the sugar. Occasionally, you need to lessen the quantity of liquid to make up for the addition of brown sugar.
In some cases, make to put the mini chocolate chips to the dry ingredients first. After that, blend them with the wet ingredients. Because of that, when you combine the dry and wet ingredients, make sure to do it fast yet delicately. With that, make sure to use a spatula. Then, instantly pour the cake batter into the prepared pan.
