"Chocolate From The Cake Mix Doctor" is fantastic. It's my go-to book for doctored mixes. My recommendations are:

  • -The Lighter Chocolate Pound Cake is good and moist, but still fairly sturdy. I've used it in character pans, as layers, and in a bundt pan.
    -Chcolate Cream Cheese Pound Cake and Chocolate-Orange Cream Cheese Pound cake also both very yummy, also pretty good at holding a shape.
    -The Boston Cream Pie cake is a favorite of my dad. He's asked for that for many occasions. Make extra glaze that this cake calls for, it's great on ice cream icon_razz.gif
    -Chocolate Midnight cake is extremely moist and yummy, but fairly delicate. I'd be afraid to put any serious weight on it, like fondant, or it would squish flat.

I love "the Cake Mix Doctor" I like the Darn good chocolate cake, and I like the basic yogurt cake on page 400. I switch the flavours on this one all the time. It makes a really yummy moist cake. We like it 1. with strawberry yogurt and pudding and 2. with vanilla like it says with chocolate chips added. YUM!! We also use chocolate pudding with plain or vanilla yogurt for a less intense choc. cake.
