Hi Nina, I also use a Vanilla Buttercream Frosting recipe. I'm still on the look out for a yummy chocolate frosting recipe. I think I'll give the one on the More than Enough Chocolate Cake recipe a try soon.

What other frosting recipes do you use, besides the cream cheese frosting? Any recipes you can share? Thanks!

Thanks Nadaley for the tip about using Juice. I’ve never tried that before.

I do the exact same thing. I swear it really works. Also try using Juice or milk instead of water for different cakes. Example for pineapple coconut cake I use yellow cake mix with pineapple Juice instead of water. Chocolate milk for chocolate cake, and always make homemade Icing. I’m going to try the Red Velvet recipe for Christmas.

Hi Lori, great question. Yes, I use the same amount of butter as the oil and the same amount of buttermilk as is recommended on the box for water.

I was just wondering do you use the same amount of butter as the oil and also thwe buttermilk.
