I wanted something quick but also would WOW the teachers at my daughter's school. I made cupcakes because that's what seems to go over best in the teacher's lounge. One of my muffin tins is shiny and the other is dark coated. The dark coated cupcakes fell quite a bit, the other pan turned out nicely. I cut into one of the cupcakes that had fallen, and it looked fine and tasted great. If I make these again, I will try less sour cream. (I baked them at 325 degrees.)

I used the butter yellow cake mix (and had already made it completely according to box directions), just added the sour cream and vanilla after, and cooked it in a regular 16x9 pan and it was incredible!!!! I can't imagine how yummy the chocolate one is! I'm going to keep this one in my book!

This turned out to be a soggy mess-followed recipe exactly. Half the cake stuck to the pan and I found it to be overly sweet.

This is one of our family favorites. I substitute plain yogurt for the sour cream.

This cake was really moist and delice~ I have not ever made one before and I flipped it onto a cooling rack like the directions said...big mistake! I could not move it to the display dish without cracking the cake. So needless to say I will flip it onto the display dish next time. I kind of like it without the frosting too. Its a lot like heavy pound cake. I put the coffee water in it...its good, but next time ill use regular water just to see the difference. Happy baking guys~~ oh and I used devils cake mix

Used chocolate cake mix and a 1/2 chocolate chips. A must for any chocolate lover! Very moist and rich. I will try this with another flavour of cake mix.

This cake is easy and good. My kids liked it and my husband was ticked because it was so good and he's trying to diet! Make sure you grease and flour your pan so it won't stick. I followed another reviewer and added 1 cup 7UP instead of water, added a box of vanilla pudding, and also seperated wet and dry ingredients in different bowls. I mixed them together and used a bundt pan on 325 for about 50-55 mins. Just a pinch of powdered sugar, delish! I'll make this again!

This cake recipe is outstanding. I have made this with chocolate mix, also. I was not careful in reading the instructions to fold in the sour cream, instead I beat it in, but it was still excellent. I now have highlighted the FOLD in sour cream. I didn't even need to frost. Please try this recipe, you won't be sorry.
