Trying to portray yourself as healthy, Sheldo? I see nothing wrong
either with the occasional box cake. Last one I made, I added sliced
apples to the batter and it was a wonderful apple cake (with no icing).

My only issue with what you did was you added EVOO. Talk about major
TIAD for a dessert cake. Are you even serious? YUCK!
Use a neutral oil for cake please. heheh
F--- EVOO for most uses (not all though).
Did you turn into Rachael Ray?
That's almost as bad or worse than using
EVOO to cook scrambled eggs. gasp!

SPLAT - cake fail!

note: when using a box cake, add just 1/3 cup extra milk for a
super moist cake.
