This is very helpful information, thanks! It seems to me that more and more
brands are being down-sized. For example, ice cream no longer comes in a half

If your box of mix is 16.5 ounces, add 6 tablespoons flour.
If your box of mix is 15.25 ounces, add 11 tablespoons (1/2 cup flour plus 3
tablespoons) plus 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder.
And, once you start to get over 3.25 ounces difference you are better off
buying a second package of cake mix. If you use a loPackages of cake mix have
shrunk in size so older recipes calling for an 18.25 ounce box may not work as
well with the new packaging. This easy fix will take care of the difference.
