But I can’t seem to leave well enough alone, so our food editor taught me an insider trick that makes any box cake mix taste like a mixed-from-scratch version. Instead of following the directions and ingredients on the box, she replaces the oil with NEARLY the exact same amount of melted butter.

I sense your skepticism. But trust me when I say that not only does the flavor increase exponentially, but the texture becomes light and heavenly. (I hear from my food-nerd friends that it has something to do with the way butter bonds with the sugar crystals to trap air.) In addition, butter also has more water in it, so your cake turns out more moist (ugh, that word … I know) than using oil alone.
If you’re planning to swap, here is a rough measurement exchange:
1/4 cup oil = 1/3 cup melted butter
1/2 cup oil = 2/3 cup melted butter
3/4 cup oil = 1 cup melted butter
1 cup oil = 1 1/4 cup melted butter
