FOR FLUFFINESS ADD EGGS FOR MOISTNESS ADD PUDDING TO THE BATTER AND IF THEY CAKE LOOKS DONE TAKE IT OUT BEFORE THE TIME IS UP. KEEPING IT IN TO LONG MAKES IT FLATTER AND DRYER

Everyone loves my cakes and asks how I get them so fluffy and moist. My secret is a big dallop of mayonaise along with all the other ingrediants. I never measure it, but if you need to, I would say maybe a half cup. The mayonaise cannot be tasted in the cake, and is primarily made up of eggs, sugar, salt, oil, and water, so these are all things that go into the batter any way. Also, be sure not to over cook the cake. Cake is done when a tooth pick inserted in the center comes out clean, or if it springs back when you touch a finger to the top. Good luck with this and Enjoy!

This is the best chocolate cake I've ever had. HE'LL LOVE IT IF HE'S A CHOCOHOLIC! INGREDIENTS * 1 (18.25 ounce) package devil's food cake mix * 1 (5.9 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix * 1 cup sour cream * 1 cup vegetable oil * 4 eggs * 1/2 cup warm water * 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips DIRECTIONS 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). 2. In a large bowl, mix together the cake and pudding mixes, sour cream, oil, beaten eggs and water. Stir in the chocolate chips and pour batter into a well greased 12 cup bundt pan. 3. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until top is springy to the touch and a wooden toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool cake thoroughly in pan at least an hour and a half before inverting onto a plate If desired, dust the cake with powdered sugar.

OK, if looks are all that matter, use shortening. It makes a nice moist fluffy cake, but I don't like to use hydrogenated products in the foods I fix.

use a tried & tested recipe,follow the recipe to the letter,work with a light hand,do not overdo anything mixing,folding in,baking temperature & time.butter & eggs not only add to the richness but give an airy cake.

you did not say if it was box or scratch mix. but if you over mix it and over bake it it will be dry and flat

adding an extra egg makes it fluffier.
