They help us to cut down on prep time, no measuring, no sifting, which means that you’re already so much closer to enjoying a slice of that cake of your dreams.
When I was younger, I actually made boxed cakes all the time. I’d act like I had my own cooking show. I’d go through the making of my boxed cake as if I was talking to an audience that wasn’t there, through an invisible camera. Shhhhh…don’t tell anyone🤫 LOL.
So, If I’m being perfectly honest, although I prefer to make cakes from scratch now, I still have a soft spot for boxed cakes.
How to Replace the Eggs to Make A Box Cake?
Replace the eggs with 1/4 of plain yogurt.
My #1 Tip to Make a Cake Mix Box without Eggs.
I like to add 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour to improve the cake’s texture. After a lot of testing, I noticed that when I don’t add the flour the cake is TOO fluffy and difficult to frost/decorate. So, adding the flour is totally optional but highly recommended.

Since as I'm not using eggs, I like to add 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour to add more structure to the cake. After a lot of testing, I found out that when I don't add the flour the cake is too fluffy and difficult to frost/decorate. So, adding the flour is totally optional but highly recommended.
I have tested this recipe with American cake mixes (around 450 gr per box), such as Betty Crocker, Pillsbury and Duncan Hines.
To make this 2-layer cake I use two cake mix boxes.

Can we use 1/4cup applesauce per egg instead of yogurt? If so, would you still add 1/4 cup of flour for a box of cake mix?
I don/t have yogurt either :/ If I used sour cream instead –are you using 1/4 cup of yogurt for each egg the mix call for –or just 1/4 cup yogurt–even if 3 eggs?
Thank you!
