We loved this recipe thanks. The only thing I did different was to add a glaze. The best cake ever!

This is a very plain cake which seemed rather dense. I am thinking it has to do with the size of cake mix that I had on hand (only 340gram). Since my cake mix was a little smaller I reduced the amount of sour cream to 3/4 cup. It was nice to try out my brand new bundt pan though! Perhaps next time I will add another flavour other than plain 'ol vanilla. I baked it an extra 15 mins too.

I tried this recipe with Betty Crocker, and Duncan Hines mix. The cake does come out moist. However If you like to fill the middle or make other molds, this recipe does not work. It makes the cake crumble and fall apart. I could not even ice the cake because as soon as I took the cake out of its pan, the cake fell apart.

Used this recipe and followed some advice from the previous reviews and it turned out just as great as everyone said it would! Highly recommend this eaten plain or frosted!

This was a perfect, in a pinch quick cake. I was worried that it was going to go flat based on some previous reviews and I didn't leave myself alot of time before I had to leave for the party I was supposed to bring this to. But, no worries here. It came out great. Nice and moist. I used low fat sour cream, two eggs, oil & water. I made a glaze of lemon juice and powdered sugar. It was a hit. Fast and easy for when you are in a hurry. Thanks for sharing this.

I used Duncan Hines Butter Recipe Cake mix. Made the cake according to the box directions, except I subsituted Sprite for the water, added 1 cup of sour cream, 2 tsp vanilla, and 1 box of instant vanilla pudding. Sift the cake mix and pudding, in a separate bowl mix all the wet ingredients, then mix the wet in with the dry. You can bake this cake in any type pan you desire. I bake most my cakes (this one included) at 325. This cake came out moist and delicious. We frosted one layer with chocolate frosting (my daughter insisted) and left the other plain. I prefer plain. The frosting was too much sweet for my taste, however my 4 year old daughter wouldn't have it any other way. Try it, you can't go wrong!

The cake was moist but really no taste and the powdered sugar just did not do anything for the flavor of the cake.

This cake was wonderful. I did change a few things. Using a Duncan Hines Butter Fudge Cake Mix....I substituted some of the water with coffee(1/2 cup)then used 1/8 cup water and the 2 tsps vanilla. I gently folded in the sour cream just until blended. I put the batter in my NordicWare bundt pan and baked at 350 for 45 minutes. The result was perfectly formed cake, moist and good texture. My husband is a moist cake freak and he said it was dangerous.

I followed this recipe exactly, and even let it cook 20 minutes longer, and it still fell! I will try again and modify the liquids.

I made this with Devil's food cake mix. I substituted 1/2 the oil for real mayo, sprinkled slivered almonds in bottom of cake pan before baking, and topped it with a simple powdered sugar glaze. My husband said this is by far THE BEST CAKE he has ever tasted! It turned out moist, fluffy, and delish!!!! (I mixed it by hand and tried not to over-mix, so it wouldn't fall.)

My cake fell flat 5 minutes after I pulled it from the oven, and was doughy, even though I had it in 12 minutes longer than the box called for. What a disappointment.

This cake was beautiful coming out of the oven, but several minutes later it FELL! After reading the reviews and discovering two other reviewers had the same results, I'm wondering if it has something to do with the type of cake mix used? My cake was not even edible (raw and gummy on the bottom). I don't want to chance trying this one again. :(

Fantastic, easy recipe. I used a chocolate cake mix and substituted some kahlua for the water called for on the box, and it was great. Just dusted with powdered sugar instead of glaze.

This recipe is AWESOME! I did increase the baking time by a few minutes (not a big deal since ovens vary). I used a lemon cake mix and then added lemon juice and milk to powdered sugar for a glaze. It was so moist and everyone thought it was homemade! I also tried it with a spice cake mix and served it fresh whipped cream and orange cranberry sauce (try it this Thanksgiving!). Thanks for a great recipe!
