Paula would recommend using the cake box mix rather than cake flour as it will produce a denser and sturdier crumb!

Flavors?

Hi Paula...I was wondering if you could use flavored cake for this recipe or does it have to be yellow? I was thinking strawberry might taste delish. Thoughts? Thank you for sharing all of your recipes, you just make my heart happy.

Absolutely! Other variations are adding chocolate or toffee chips to the filling, lemon, pumpkin, etc!
