    Made this twice recently. Once for a church picnic and then for a family picnic. Came out prefect both times and got many praise for flavor, texture, and moistness! Did not bring any home!! Thank You, Mansa.

    I agree about making homemade frosting. It puts a final, homemade touch on the cake.
    I think keeping these box mixes in your pantry is a good idea. You always have the makings of a yummy desert for company.

    I enjoy cake mix hacks. It's less time consuming when you're in a pinch. However, I am a 99% scratch baker and cook. Can't help it, my dad was a chef. I do have a question regarding the carrot cake hack though. Did you utilize the dehydrated carrots in the box then added fresh grated carrots? Keep on filming your videos. Your videos are great.

    There's only one thing I would add. And thats 2 small boxes of raisins. Nuts on top only wouldn't be enough so in batter as well. What is orange zest, is that the skin/peel of the 🍊. I'm freaking out about using the juice from oranges. That's music.
