Luckily, there are ways to dress up boxed cake mix. I know quite a few, but food magazine and media brand Bon Appétit shared one that I've never tried before, but it immediately went on my list.

If you prefer that the chocolate melt a little more into the cake, try chopping up chocolate bars instead of using chocolate chips. Chocolate chips are formulated to keep their shape, but bar chocolate isn't, which means you'll get chocolate puddles instead of chip-like blobs. Both are tasty, it's all up to your preference.
These add-ins give you a moist, decadent cake that feels homemade without the stress and helps you add a little bit of your personality to your bake.
Other Boxed Cake Mix Tricks You Have To Try
I've dressed up my boxed cakes for years and have some go-to tricks of my own. I always swap out the water the box calls for with milk, which adds richness. If it’s a chocolate cake, you can also use coffee instead—this enhances the chocolate flavor without making it taste like coffee.
I use these basic upgrades for every boxed cake mix, but if you want to enhance the flavor even more, start by stirring in a teaspoon of vanilla extract or almond extract (pro-tip: use a dash of both for a richer, more complex flavor) or dash or two of cinnamon or nutmeg. For a fun twist and a hit of texture, you can fold in some chopped nuts or crushed Oreo pieces.
If you want to make sure that your boxed cake is extra moist, you can make a cake soak. Just heat up equal parts sugar and water, stir until the sugar dissolves, then add any flavorings you like. You can stir in some vanilla extract, fresh lemon or lime juice or steep fresh herbs in the simple syrup. Mint would be fun for a chocolate cake or make a basil syrup for a yellow cake. Use vanilla frosting and fresh strawberries between the layers for a next-level bake. Brush the syrup between the layers when building your cake.
