Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 (18 ounce) package betty crocker white cake mix
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
3 whole large eggs (even for white cakes)
1 cup water
1 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons almond OR vanilla extract/flavoring
Directions:
Directions:
In a bowl, mix 1st 3 ingredients. (see notes below) Set aside.

Place remaining ingredients in mixer bowl then add the dry.

Mix on low speed for 30 seconds, until dry ingredients are incorporated; mix at medium 2 minutes.

This makes 1 & 1/2 times the usual batter than a 'straight' cake mix. Divide batter evenly between 2 8" or 2 9" round pans. You can make 24 cupcakes with this, just watch them after turning up the oven as they may cook faster.

Pour into pan(s) and bake as you usually do. I prefer to bake at 300 degrees F. for 20 minutes, then turn oven up to 325 degrees F. for an equal time OR until you can smell cake If it has pulled away from the edges of the pan it is *over done*. You should have a flat cake that won't (usually) need leveling & is not sticky on the top when it cools.


Special NOTES:

That's right -- there is NO oil, butter or margarine in this recipe.

Can use ANY cake flavor.

Flavorings can change depending on cake flavor you use. Try a combination of 1 part vanilla, 1/2 part butter flavoring and 1/4 part almond.

It is important to mix the dry ingredients well especially if using a chocolate mix or you will have white spots in the finished cake. I use a wire wisk.
