Actually the Cake Mix Dr. is probably a good book for you to check out as it has tons of recipes where Cake mixes are Dr'd.
I use the extender recipe on the site-add sour cream, flour, sugar, egg, vanilla, and baking powder.
I adapt chocolate cake by using coffee for the water (doesn't taste like coffee, only hightens the chocolate flavor.
Or I add any assortments of creamer to make yummy flavors.

I increase the eggs to 4, put an envelope of dream whip, 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup flavored creamer. I also bake at 300 and the cakes rise higher and a little more level.

hmmm interesting- i use coffee in my choc frosting but never tried it in the cake mix-love the idea
my standard recipe is DH mix- add 1 egg and 1 pudding. also love the darn good chocolate cake recipe on cc which adds chips , pudding and sour cream
love the wasc recipe which is based off of a mix
for lemon or lemon poppy seed I start with lemon dh and replace water w/ white grape juice and 1/3 c lemon juice( figures = original liquid quantity) and 1 tsp lemon zest- then poppy seed stirred in or not yumm....
I like using white cake mix and adding 2 c of melted ice-cream and 3 eggs then 2 t of whichever extract I think will enhance the flavor.
Pineapple sherbet with coconut extract and orange sherbet with orange extract make tasty cakes.
To come up with new flavors I'll also try using flavored dry pudding mixes with flavored yogurts (instead of sour cream).
