There are many simple swaps and hacks that can take boxed cake mix to the next level, such as adding a can of sweetened condensed milk to the cake when it's done.

For this method, simply poke holes on the top of the cake and pour the can over it. This is similar to making a tres leches cake, minus the other milks.

Sweetened condensed milk is thick, rich, and packed with concentrated sweetness, which makes it the perfect addition for boosting both flavor and moisture.

When you pour it over the cake, it seeps into the holes, creating a luscious texture throughout. The milk binds to the cake's crumb, locking in moisture and creamy sweetness.
