Today I baked a big beautiful Strawberry Pound Cake, and let’s keep this our little secret, one of the ingredients is a cake mix. This recipe starts with a basic cake mix, then with some added ingredients, in this case, instant pudding, extra eggs, and mini chocolate chips, the end result does not resemble a boxed cake mix at all.
Strawberry Pound Cake
1 package (18.25 ounce) strawberry cake mix
1 package (3.4 ounce) instant vanilla pudding
4 eggs
1 cup water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
Topping
1 (10 ounce) Chocolate Amazing Glazes (or your own home made glaze)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour or use nonstick cooking spray to prepare a 10-inch Bundt pan.
Combine cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, water, and oil in a large mixing bowl. Beat at low speed with an electric mixer until moistened. Beat at medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in chocolate chips. Pour into prepared pan. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 25 minutes. Invert onto cooling rack. Cool completely. Drizzle glaze over top of cooled cake.
A few extra ingredients can turn a cake mix into a pound cake.
After baking, cool cake in pan for 25 minutes, then invert on cooling rack until completely cooled.

My uncle by marriage used to swear that his wife only baked from-scratch cakes! When he passed, we gathered at their home and my aunt took me into her kitchen. I asked for one of her recipes that my uncle loved the most so I could continue to share desserts with him, in that sense. She said, "It's real easy. All you have to do is open one of these (Duncan Hines Cake Mix) and add one of these (Dream-Whip Topping Mix) and it's perfect. Your uncle never came into my kitchen!" Don'tcha just love these family recipes!… Come visit when you can.

Could I use butter in place of the oil with the same results?
Hi Savannah, Yes, I believe butter would work in place of oil in this recipe. I haven't made it that way, but butter should be an even exchange for oil, so 1/3 cup of butter would replace the oil. Let me know how you like it.
