Add Baking Powder to Cake Mix

When using boxed cake mixes, add a half to a level teaspoon of baking powder. Being taught this by my grandmother has been a blessing. We don't always check the date on the box and as the box sits on the shelves, it loses it's strength. I am not a baker and have had cakes come out flat, but after using this method I haven't had any problems.

What if the cake is in date do you still use baking powder? Sometime my box cake come out flat! I have really stopped using box cake mix. I just make my cake from scratch now. But, when they have a good sale on box cake mix I will stock up on them.

I always use extra baking powder to boxed cake mix as well as pancake mix, cornbread /muffin mixes. About 1 teaspoonful.

And a pinch of baking soda to the cornbread also. No matter what the dates are. GG Vi

Will sifting and adding baking powder possibly make a white cake mix rise higher? I don't know why when I make a white cake mix it never seems to get as high as any other.
