The recipe is not clear about preparing the cake as per the package, milk and egg....so do we prepare as the box says, then add the egg and milk?in addition to the 3 eggs, oil, and water that the box calls for? or is that used in place of something in the cake mix. I made it just as the package said without the additional egg & milk, and it ended up with a bubble in the middle and the center never cooked? Some clarification is necessary.
